you're so far away... tantalizing temptation was always your forte teasing me, drawing me in making me yearn for your passionate kiss desperate to be lured into your amorous arms by those luscious lavender lips and the sweet scent of your sultry sensuality alas, my love... this cruel chasm created by your passing has left me melancholic how I remember our romantic rendezvous and savor the memories of our marital mergings bodies entwined in erotic embrace reaching heights of euphoric ecstasy that left us spent and satisfied, time and again tell me where I can find you... sun and moon are distant lovers, languishing in an uncaring universe determined to keep them from consummating their vows even still, every eighteen months or so they meet at the appointed time a galactic eclipse where two become one the cosmos cries out in joyous refrain wait for me, my beloved... and tho' sun and moon may fade away into an eternal ether of nothingness my love for you, dear one, shall never wither and die for ours is a lasting love, destined to deliver this bereaved soul from the bane of loneliness and loss on that great day when our two hearts reunite in rapturous, rhythmic rhapsody - forever a day for a year, a day for a year...

The poignant mix of wistfulness and eager longing for a future reunion offers a beautiful reflection on the enduring power of love against the awe-inspiring backdrop of cosmic force between the Sun and Moon. From the Haiburn Master to romantic alliteration, your versatility as a writer is amazing, Tommy. Really well done...Hugs

This is one of the best examples of a romantic poem. Every word and every line breathes passion in its great intensity. Love the whole poem especially the third stanza- "sun and moon are distant lovers, languishing in an uncaring universe determined to keep them from consummating their vows even still, every eighteen months or so they meet at the appointed time a galactic eclipse where two become one the cosmos cries out in joyous refrain" So love can consummate one day whatever be the time gap and hindrances be. Tom, this goes into my FAVE.

Very intriguing romance! Your use of alliteration is seamless and unforced. It flows beautifully. Steamy, sensual, sexy, sentimental, and sanctified by marriage, this romance is wholesome and refreshing. Xoxo

Tom Woody
Date: 5/15/2024 2:19:00 PM

Ha! You caught the marriage reference. Very nice. And great alliterative comment. You should enter the contest

Ah...I think this must be my favourite of your poems that I've read. Didn't know you could write romance and passion so well, and that with the use of allileration. Great job. Very well done

Tom Woody

sun and moon are distant lovers… determined to keep them from consummating their vows… by those luscious lavender lips and the sweet scent of your sultry sensuality…emotive and wanting…

Tom Woody
Date: 5/13/2024 5:52:00 PM

Appreciate your commentary

Charlotte Puddifoot

Date: 5/13/2024 2:26:00 PM

your alliterations sound very natural, not forced at all, and who can resist a bit of romance?..that said, there's a lot of telling as opposed to showing, which is probably just as well cos you might get arrested lol romance/erotica is the most difficult genre to write, difficult to avoid slipping into cliche

Tom Woody
Date: 5/13/2024 2:40:00 PM

Thx for advice. This one is cliche free, thankfully. I've never been good at tell vs. show without dialogue. Give me an example and I'll take a look

Tomszy, im having a migraine attack, but reading this made my heart just feel so much. I felt like i was reading a poem written by silent one. But take that as a compliment because he knows romance so well lol. Anyhow! I love the title and your use of alliterations throughout and how youv written a poem that depicts true love and longing in the most eloquent manner. The opening lines drew me in and the passionate sensuality that flows too is so soul hitting! But as you’d know my fave lines from this poem is “ sun and moon are distant lovers” gosh! Can i steal that! So good! “ and tho' sun and moon may fade away into an eternal ether of oblivion my love for you, dear one, shall never wither and die for ours is a lasting love,” such love makes me just go awwn! This is a fave! Also i wanted to say thank you for pointing out my name in your contest. Also “ ink mistress” my old insta name made me feel at home as you mentioned that! Thank you.

Hello Tom, Ahh... the testament to the enduring power of love in the face of separation and loss. You created such a stark picture of longing and desire, and heartfelt words, capturing the essence of craving for a beloved who is no longer within reach. Tom, this is such a moving poem about how true love transcends time and space, offering peace in moments of melancholy and anticipation of a future reunion. A wonderful reflection on the resilience of love against the backdrop of cosmic forces. - Blessings, my friend, Daniel

Delightfully romantic--I hear the sound of alliteration that enhances the tenor of your poem, Tom. And a pledge that says love:---and tho' sun and moon may fade away into an eternal ether of oblivion my love for you, dear one, shall never wither and die---

Tom Woody
Date: 5/13/2024 2:43:00 PM

did you get my soupmail dude? Thanks for mentioning my name as a reference for your contest of alliterative love... I am honoured... now you pressure me to write a masterpiece.. I see you have used light alliteration in this one and word pairings that make sense and create sweet romantic imagery.. loneliness is the nemesis of lovers, especially those distant and apart... who said love and romance was easy> Right? Nice example.

Tom Woody

Romance, sex, love. Endless ways to approach. Thx much
