Lovers, at last.

Lovers, at last.

Volcanic are our evolving feelings

Ashes lye in their wake. It's destructive, yet beautiful.

The magnificence is a slow moving thunder.

The growl from the belly. Hollow is our heart.

There's vacancy where love use to live, there.

Here, lover's ruin. Our paradise. Trapped.

Basking in the ambiance of where flame burned so hot.

Clutching the air as a result of this dynamic dance.

We close our eyes. The night air is our compass.

We'll find it again. Dim-lit urges once spread

Pure romance.

We've consumed the moonlight. Naked towards each other.

In this fluorescence, we can see each other.

In this moment, we believed the other.

In this fluorescence, we can see each other.

Reflections of time is mirrored in your eyes.

I see it all. I assess the all of you.

From this angle, I've witnessed the fall for you.

For you, there is no plummet too great.

I'd dive and delve into those ashes.

The thunderous night sea pales, in comparison,

to our spark;

 

It set us free.

I really like how vivid your words are. This is a problem with many writers- they use words that only half-cook an image in your mind, and that may be useful in some instances, but I've noticed that I enjoy the poets who use full blown, powerful expressions more. This is a great poem, with some excellent phrases, and I like how you've echoed on the biblical theme of fall of man in it. :)

Aw, thanks! There was a touch of influence from all over including religious and environmental. Thanks for the kind review!

Nice imagery in the feels of these throws in your lines and the divine dive is one of my favorite references you convey those feelings lovely Laurie

Was my pleasure and you are welcome.

this is rough...when the passionate love has gone south...when it is torture to be together knowing the fire has burned out...both parties fall into disarray...reflections hurt....the spark that set the fire once has become sordid ash.
this is so vivid in its imagery...and the feeling is more than absorbed by the reader...

Ahh, I love how dissected from this angle! Thank you for the wonderful review.

[barleygirl]

This is a powerful mix of passion & emotion. The thing I love the most is how you switch up the pacing from stanza to stanza which seems to emulate the way a session of love or sex can be modulated here & there by a change of pace. Your message seems to be tinged with a bit of danger, which also makes it feel more urgent (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Powerful description. Thanks for the amazing review!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A very intense and sensual write. It reads like the coming together of two people who have admired one another and lusted in private and eventually meet. Quite sensitively erotic.

[Laurierose]

Yes, there was a climatic rhythm of two lovers of longing. Thank you for the thoughtful review!

[Onlyme]

Wow, this is like sparks flying and dancing inside my mind's eye. Superb poem. Full of amazing vivid images that transport you to another realm and dimension of lovers.

[Laurierose]
