Love Song




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

    Ahh..that was beautiful ..i reminds me of the freshness of love..at 15 or 16 and the song 'moonlight feels right'..when love was mysterious..and ethereal..and beyond all

    "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

    Grace,
    Each 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.

    A 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.

    Seems the moon is resonating with a lot of us readers. I think I'll try being drunk on the moon, and him at the same time. Sounds inspiring...Loved this.
