solitude of love

~

“Neath blushing heavens up above, within the solitude of love”

As evening captures your eyes

in moon shadow driftings

when stars blush

and heavens find their

dreams fulfilled

I taste your midnight lips

neath a slumbering elm

between emerald leaves

and comet tail whispers

wafting silently

Pearl buttons part

slowly exposing porcelain skin

gentle hands caress sultry shimmers

illumined by desire,

painted impassioned hues

Twin umber auroras

gaze down midst darkened strands,

tickling wispy giggles,

moistened petals pierced,

warmth engulfs the embrace

And as our fingers intertwine

before a bashful horizon

my heart quivers

at the beauty enchanting

this summer's eve

Where forever promises linger

in breathless sighs

below a universe smiling

while we are alone

within the solitude of love

Your poetic words are the sparks which light passionate flames in the fire of this classic write, dear Willweb. The moon and stars look down with jealous eyes as you kiss and caress and speak lovingly to each other beneath the beautiful Elm tree! What a story that tree could tell if only it could talk! A very evocative write studded with little gems of metaphor and various figures of speech. Once again, you fleck a very sweet and sensual write for your reader to enjoy! Thank you for sharing. I so enjoyed reading! Exquisite inking, dear poet...

The scene you set is absolutely memorable! And the all the desires, flames, passion gently heightens, as touch and scent , soft, silky skin, hearts quiver….under an elm tree beneath a heaven that smiles in envy of your caresses….young love blossoms in solitude ….this is wondrous…..so descriptive and stunning….your writing gets better and better Will….
Warmly, B

gotta love those slumbering elms...they give us shade and guard us we explore each other's lips...
This reminds me of young love and my high school days.
They were wonderful times...and I still treasure every kiss...and even the uncertainty that went along with attempting to get those kisses.
