Our Love

"red kimono" by catherine abel

Oh moon and stars
I beseech you
open your samovar of sparkle
allow this night to lounge a while longer
permit my blonde tendrils
to tangle with the hair on his chest
for a few more moments
rosy cheeked and sanguine
I fervently plead
sanction our rendezvous
with your celestial light
that this night shall last
till 100 tomorrows have evanesced
for nothing is truly ours
but this moment
and our love

Author's Note

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

Reads like a timeless classic, Lydi! What a bittersweet pain it is...we cannot make glorious moments last but in memory. Everything about this write spells poetic elegance. "for nothing is truly ours
but this moment and our love"...one of the most memorable lines ever written in the history of poetry. Incredible, my friend.

When the moon and stars are beckoned to lend their celestial light to such a time as this, they are the romantics of the universe, and what a time they shine for.............blond tendrils tangled on the hair of his chest, the red kimono draped open for him, the room ready for love - all such sensual delight!! It is a moment to be long cherished with the sanguine glow of love!!

when it comes right down to it...the only thing we really do own is our feelings...

and that's a good thing, especially when there is this kind of beautifully expressed love involved.

Your imagery is sparkling in this one, Lydi. Excellent poetry! (Your graphic bears a slight resemblance to an esteemed poetess, whose identity I will not reveal. Dont' you think?)
