I really enjoyed this one, Maria; nicely conveyed Gothic imagery, true Romanticism and a wonderful last stanza..

Very few are gifted enough to say "No thank you" in such a way. Beautiful imagery resonates throughout this write.

Heat and grace combined. A much nicer brush off than what we guys usually hear.

"Kisses that burn with the promise
of Star-filled nights,
and making love
within the crevices of the moon."

What a delightful concept, burning kisses and moon-coldness, such a temptation...

But then there's this:

Spirits entwined through
transference,
forming a pearl nuzzled within the
womb of complexities,
resting on plates suspended with golden chains,
gleaming in all its majesty.

Choices, choices...

Wonderful tapestry of words, Maria! You are very gifted!

You are too classy for Ed Drac, Maria. He's been drinking the cheap stuff. :) Beautiful poem.

This is fantastic Maria
and although I bow my head in sorrow
I must rejoice that you have told Drac to bug off in the most elegant way imaginable

But my eyes will always be on your neck

I suppose necking is out of the question??LOL
