Ramblers

’Tween hither and thither we wended our way

skipping, dancing through sand dunes, in seascape croquet.

While woven in waves watching dolphins at play

I first tasted her lips in the ocean’s wild spray.

Mystic moonbeams, suffusing clouds’ shimmering sails,

unleashed us and whisked us down sensuous trails,

soon evoking the trills of untamed nightingales

as our passions pervaded green valleys and dales.

Being spectres of splendour in wanton sashay

we mastered our meaning in love’s matinee �"

the breezes, in passing, slowed down to survey

blazing bodies embraced in youth’s blooming bouquet.

With the wind as our wings, till the Never we flew,

two gypsies, on junkets through dusk’s residue

gently floating like pollen to everywhere new,

so eluding pearled teardrops that paint the past blue.

Yes, we gamboled and gambled, two waifs led astray,

with our shackles afire and anchors aweigh �" 

rising higher and higher, the sun lured our sleigh,

teasing time was our temptress, night’n day after day.

Having stars in our eyes and all time as our view,

we’ve drifted, like dreamers where sprites rendezvous

and feasted on laughter and sipped morning dew

while rambling forever as one made of two.

Reviews

[Terpsichore]

In today's soundbite world, poetry such as this is quite hard to come by, and so I mostly take refuge in the classics.

You tell the tale with rhythm and great skill and I have to say that every time I read one of your poems I am taken back to the golden days.

Truly, I enjoy your work.

Thank you, Terpsichor...
"taken back to the golden days"... a sublime complement!!!

Hello! Great imagery and great narration. In regards to musicality (which is remarkable) I especially enjoyed the alliteration.
