My Enchanted Evening

A Poem by PANTHER

Was an enchanted evening, a love poem to enjoy.
Was a passage to manhood, no longer now a boy.
My words flowed free and easy, falling soft on receptive ears.
I nibbled and breathed ever faster, her movements allayed any fears.

Was an enchanted evening, a love poem to enjoy.
Long flaxen hair was aglow, be my Helen of Troy.
Like Shakespeare, praised sparkling eyes there in the night.
Cyrano shook in his boots, each phrase and inflection just right.

Was an enchanted evening, a love poem to enjoy.
Tenderly I caressed her, cast a spell like Tolstoy.
I knew she was mine in that moment, the best was yet to come.
We passed the night lost in the magic, in the morning we greeted the sun.

Was an enchanted evening, a love poem to enjoy.
Memory warm within me, old man time can't destroy.
I'll recite ever word every phrase, clear and concise in my brain.
I'll describe each and every emotion, but warned don't ask for a name.
