Susan, dear friend, dear poet...I am grateful for your kindness...Thank you

My love, let us live this paradisal evening dressed in wispy clouds of red and tailored in strips of orange embellishing the horizon where shades and shadows embrace your face as the last glimmer of daylight falls leaving a raptured sky of coral pink and red enhancing your beauty in the twilight's glow as your hair dances like tranquil threads in the breeze of the day's end where the throes of velvet gleam shine through a veil of parting clouds your lips part like fragrant petals forming words they drift to my ears on breathless sighs of romance the world disappears, I see only you revealed in amorous scenes of romantic portraits hanging on the wall of my heart your eyes welcome me into their mysterious world of ardent fantasies and dreams filled with promises of aphrodisiacal kisses and heartfelt need where nothing exists but the tenderness that binds us to the offerings we toss in the flame stoked by enchantment and primordial urge where our hearts become naked and unafraid of what lies before us when we look into the eyes of ardor drawing us closer to a timeless intimate celestial wish for the sun has set and the night has opened its stars to us beneath buttercream streams of Venus light soft our breath caressing the air we share fingertips mingle skin sensations so sacred the feel of your touch, the only satisfaction I'll know in a moon garden of gardenia glamour spicy scents hug the dark like a temptress feminine and masculine sweet and wild the musk so like us woo of wind spirit flutters the pulse of roots and stems and tendrils reaching grasping unmasking everlasting invisible but for dances of lilacs and moonflowers and flirty traipses of tresses in slight stirrings frisky-felt on fair-freckled skin bare but for Moonglow we wear quiver of white lilacs on branches shiver of green leaves blended in shadows feel naught what we already feel and savor the lilac leaf the shape of our intimacy a supple vein of love joining two halves as each half as a whole shares as one heart the same stars the same moon the same lilac spray moonflowers in bloom unveil vanilla perfume Oh sweet its release lured by a flurry of murmurs how sweet your breath gliding over every leaf over ever moon vine petal how sweet your sighs gliding over me my name in the vibe of your sighs beguile my ears your hands in my hair loose curls looping your fingers like trellis-vines your lips our kiss within a whisper's sigh we rouse in dance like luna moths earthly and ethereal like heat waves escaping an oasis we rise ripples growing in waves sweep our mortal veins rising to break the ache of chains and singe the stars our passion astral and feral a meteor a lighting bolt tonight we steal the scene from the buxom moon in her silver stole our afterglow steals the luster from nightglow aerial and physical so like us

This is so beautiful, and i cant even tell who wrote what because both your lines flow and go so well together, your use of adjectives and also how youv painted imagery in such a descriptive and soul stirring manner truly emphasizes the depth of love and longing, the opening lines are so artistic and made me pause in awe of the creative nature of your word weaving! Dear susan, and Frederick, poetic souls, you both presented a poem worthy of million accolades! This is definitely A FAVE! Absolute pleasure reading this gem! Sending you light today and always

Two master poets combining to create a wonderful collaboration.. Your poem is an eloquent and sensuous celebration of love, intimacy, and the beauty of nature intertwined with the passion of the speaker's feelings. The imagery is rich and vivid, capturing the essence of a romantic evening in which every element, from the setting sun to the stars above, seems to conspire to enhance the deep connection between lovers
