Soft Unrest

Dark of night in amethyst

dreams, they lie in soft unrest

starlight rises from the sea

moonlight crowned in such beauty…

           

 

From the aching depths below

I feel the lingering glow

of the night,

                                      the sky,

                                                          the sea

the dreams that wait for you, for me

 

So warm in the paling moon

oh would it be far too soon

to wish you near, let you in

feel the curve of silken skin

 

I will don my velvet dress

hold you to my beating breast

loosening my golden hair

glistening on perfumed air

 

With careless head, heaven bound

feet swept gently from the ground

in your arms of tenderness

embraced with love’s sweetest breath

 

Slip into me and be lost

‘til time fades and we exhaust

the light of the moon’s bright crown

in my sea of love to drown….

 

Dark of night, in amethyst

                                                         dreams they lie in soft unrest

Well-done composition in tones of lilac (including font & artwork choices!) The crafting of this message is flowing & seductive, with good rhythm & rhyme. Excellent imagery from nature to paint the seductive longing with much feeling.

[Papaya]

So good. Beautiful and romantic, strong finish too.
A soft unrest, it seems like not such a bad thing I think.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your lovely comment :) Julie

The intentionality behind the written word conveys such powerful amorous filled with so much lady class. The structure, form, and rhyming scheme in your poem allowed me to practically hear your picturesque voice read aloud in an alluring yet respectful elegant manner, excellent work, should write a novel.

[MsJewel]

You are very kind. Thank you :) Julie

This is the ultimate high in pure romantic poetry.
More sensual than sexual, it tells of a new love interest and the first time indulging in the undressing of inhibition and the joy of fulfillment.

Beautifully expressed passion and poetry at its best.

What a beautiful flow of colors and dreams mingled into this sensual, soft world of warmth. The scent, the moonlight, this world of wonder flowing from the depths of your sea, this is a sacred love.

Julie, Julie, just when I think I have read a lovely romantic poem from you, I look up and here is another, but even more intense, more lovely, more sensual, more romantic... *sigh* "Dark night of amethyst/ dreams they lie is soft unrest" that ne right there is enough to make anyone want to drown within its moon light... and I love amethyst, a strong healing stone and also my birthstone... and a color that sets a warm, romantic tone for your poem..

redzone...

Thank you Curt. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Amethyst is one of my favorite colors as well. I didn't know it was a strong healing stone. :) Julie
