When Our Eyes First Met - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker

When our eyes first met, in an evening's glow of twilight the moon was rising, the world disappeared I saw only you we enjoyed a calm gentle merriment as love's breath crossed the unmeasurable distance where we found a glistening glimmer of sensual glint no words were spoken, none were needed your eyes invited an enduring treasured moment of created memory which will last through the harvest of our day's sweet nectared blossoms and light the dim-lit nights of entangled romantic interludes of welcomed fervor wrapped in the wondrous arms of wonder found with the silhouette of lovers painted in the moon-lit dark where our souls reveal their ambrosia, without fear in love's timeless universe of warm adoring realms of restive emotion found in the eyes of paradise from our first greeting when our eyes first met sundown raised a golden toast to star-show’s lovesome muse vesper’s champagne goosebumped in our veins and filled a vacant streambed with a shifted stream a plenished ribbon tying the juicy bow of our dewy dream as sparks rained down we fell like two falling stars showered in the shimmer of our dark-sky eyes ready for the heady rush we rushed headlong tipsy on the musk of jasmine air a flower tucked behind one ear petal-soft lips in search of honey sips with readiness flaunted like an arched red bloom as shadows supple like summer vines seized the Venus light costly the mossy mat beneath our sleek backs while the phlox moon blushed a pinkened swoon with our surrender when our eyes first met west of sunset the evening-star stardusted our gaze I saw only you.. as rainbow seasons whirl into December’s pearl hair once raven long since faded to dove vintage heartbeats collect in the past of the hourglass tipping the balance in the fatality of time yet - the old night hangs a Yule moon as full as my arms are of you - still - I still see only you Frederic Parker and Susan Ashley (a collaboration) August 28, 2021 ~ Poem Of The Day ~ August 29, 2021 *Celebrated on Frederic Parker's page* Poet’s note: Dearest Frederic, it was both a pleasure and an honor to collaborate with you on this lovely poem.
