Let us go where the night
is sultry songbird
crooning lyrics to moon
voluptuous red
I'll twine my arms around your neck
& wait for time to uncurl
its sweet fruit in your hands
plump dark
Let us drift closer for a kiss
There's sharp edge in the air
crackling our skin electric
brewing storm
Our love song is playing
& I want to be carried far away
swaying
drunk on moonlight
& you

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and romantic poem, Grace. Great closing lines!
ReplyDeletebeautifully done...loved the concluding lines especially that made me yearn for a walk under moonlight :) glad to read you after my long absence..
ReplyDelete"Where the night is sultry songbird," oooh, what a phrase. From beginning to end, just like this night you've depicted, the poem oozes romance, sensuality, and the true meaning of "remember that night when...?" I feel like I'm having a hot flash... Amy
ReplyDeleteEntirely successful piece Grace - sweeps you away:
ReplyDelete"drunk on moonlight

Grace,
ReplyDeleteEach of these verses arise effortlessly from the one previous. You've knit together a wonderful mosaic. You display a wonderful lyric gift in this and in all your work. Very nice... Steve K.
Beautiful , intimate and romantic :) Happy Valentine's Day :) I'm not sure you celebrate but every day is a good day for love.
ReplyDeleteA bone fide love poem, romance without droll sentimentality, and like some noted, with more than a pinch of steamy sensuality; liked the line /there's a sharp edge in the air/ crackling our skin electric/ brewing storm/ nice job.
ReplyDeleteA romantic and sensuous love poem--what more can you ask for Valentine's Day. Beautiful, Grace.
