Notes About The Poem

Contest Love Jones

sponsor Karen Jones

My love is my passion

When the World Melts Away

The serenity of sensual surrender
causes our hearts to tenderly bloom
like a thousand lilac-colored roses
   and purple orchids
whose fragrance lingers beyond our yesterday
   into tomorrows
from every emotional breath taken
where their savored scent nourishes our souls
into a sweet fervor of submission
which we cleave to with each kiss
turning our wishes into dreams
through the resplendent colors of the day
   into the night
where we offer our treasures as a gift
beneath the stars and halo moonlight
that lays on the face and hair of love
where we hear the sound of trembling heartbeats
ascending like two birds gliding on the winds of heaven
soaring beyond the glimmering starlights
   that blaze across the sky
lighting the way before us leading us into a universe
of passionate intoxication, where lovers get drunk
   on the eternal ecstasy of love

You always write romance so very well dear Frederick. Not sure where to start with appreciating this absolutely gorgeous and fragrant poem that flows with such heartfelt emotions and soulful imagery .. from flowers to moon and all that nature has to offer used to depict such beautiful love. Brilliant ending too. Im sure this will do so well in the contest. Goodluck

If love had been like that for me, I'd still be married. You always have been good at love poems, Frederic. Nice write:)
