"Gravity Lost In The Stillness Of The Night"

A Villanelle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gravity lost in the stillness of the night,

The ocean's beaches of sand suit passion's bed; 

Salt waters reflect bliss found in the moonlight.

 

Venus the goddess of love gifts souls forthright,

Rupturing hearts kindled in flames ever wed; 

Gravity lost in the stillness of the night,

 

Voice of global reckonings shatter the sight

Of loneliness to perform affection's stead;

Salt waters reflect bliss found in the moonlight.

 

Obsessions never giving birth to that of trite,

For this ardor is that eternity bled;

Gravity lost in the stillness of the night,

 

Emotions give ecstasy elation in flight,

Two doves coupled surviving on worships bred;

Salt waters reflect bliss found in the moonlight.

 

Their beings as one for the endless flames ignite,

Devotion of essences bond spirits embed;

Gravity lost in the stillness of the night,

Salt waters reflect bliss found in the moonlight.

weightless, joyful and exhilirating... conjured up an image of otters tucked into beds of seaweed beneath a sky made brilliant with the fire of Moon and Stars, although I know that has very little to do with the topic here. :o) wonderful wordcrafting!

I like this poem. Gravity lost in the moonlight is a great repetitive line and the imagery is simply stunning for lack of better words.
