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.

This is surely a softest moment, Poetess. I read the words and sat back with a smile and a sense of pure contentment. Ah, if I ever should find such a like then would my life, in its romanticism be complete... I would have found my ideal Browning. Lovely, simply beautiful... Ron.

These finite dark hours are filled with sweet surrender and amour, though time is pressing and this harmony must end come dawn !

An amorous entreat!

Oh, this is my prayer. LOL

This is so wonderful, Lydi. If I could be the moon or one of the stars, I would grant your wish right away and would watch and light you in that very romantic moment.

Well-chosen words. Same lovely structure. Keep it up, romantic poet.
