Twilight's Masquerade

Slip with me

Into the velvet

Of the midnight sea

Drift silently

Into the darkness

Of twilight's masquerade

Let the darkness

Caress sweetly 

Melting the abyss 

Float under

The galaxy of stars

Encompassing worlds unknown

Enjoy the magical brew

Sipping gingerly 

On Nature's relief

This has a feeling of mind, rather than body escaping with the one we want to shareour being with, seeing the ocean's unseen beauty in its hidden depths and soaring to the heights of the stars, two essences entwined in all the majesticness (is that a real word?) of the beauty that surrounds us.
To share all that outer beauty, with the one who sees inside of you.
Beautiful.

This is definitely about the beauty of nature during the nocturnal hours. It’s about being in awe and appreciate the feeling it gives us

The very idea of floating away and around worlds unknown, swathed in a sea of stars is beautiful beyond belief....Sipping gingerly on nature’s brew :)

Wonderful imagery of night, so calming to read. The soft sounds of words using the s letter almost send me drifting. Enjoyed.

I love the subtle sensuality of this poem, with its dream of love and the healing power of fulfilled feelings... 'Nature's relief'... yes....

[Poetic Beauty]

This poem was not intended to be sensual. But it does slightly have that tone because of some word choices.

[Jibey]

For me, it definitely caresses the senses with its images of the night

everything is an escape. does anything feel real? the only thing that makes this life worth while is connection. we connect to each other. but you're somewhere else. but i'm here.
