R-ecline your wearied self within my care

O-n a coverlet of eventide and moon

M-elted stars, in platinum tresses, rare

A-light your eyes and aspect, as I swoon

N-ight is but another of your lovers

T-aken as I am, with all your charms

I-n, you slip, between its silky covers

C-loistered in its ardor ... and my arms.

That's very kind of you, Geoffrey, I'm so pleased you liked it! I worked very hard on this one to make it fluid and rhyming, yet do so with imagery and substance around the Acrostic. I'm very proud of this one. Blessings and thanks, my friend! :-)

Another gorgeous write Greg, definitely one on your best, at first I thought it was 3 persons, then I figured out who Eve was, so clever, your use of words has a special phraseology that few can acheive, hence a nice shared 2nd place, congrats buddy!
