The musky moon melted into the clouds
envious of the lovers’ lips and liberties entwined
as passion punctuated the passing night
they threaded time in their fevered hands.
Freely did they let freedom fly to find its home –
hearts that have and hold, and hope in love
lasting longer than their lives allowed.
~~~~~
Pushing pencil on paper, I tried
to weave words as wordweavers do
set sentiments into spells that make one
breathe life, live love in its grandeur
though magic is beyond my meager words.

Written for DVERSE POETS’ FORM FOR ALL – Bang Bang Bang-Crash! and for Magpie Tales 176 which provided this image prompt:
The turn that moonlight and freedom took was inspired by my husband’s silliness while I was bemoaning my lack of poem. 🙂

That is so beautiful …great descriptive words…Diane
Thanks much, Diane. 🙂
ha. i think you have the magic…and push the pencil quite well…this was one tough challenge, the trying is well worth it, i did not get it completely myself…i like the freedom and hearts that have and hold, and hope in love…which lasts longer than life…
hi Imelda,
perfect intro:
“The musky moon melted…”
This is lovely, Imelda. You have met the strict requirements of the form perfectly, and produced a beautiful poem wt some truly wonderful lines. I think your words here have the magic you were looking for.
oh this is beautiful. that first line completely takes your breath away. you are indeed a great wordweaver 🙂
nice…you had me with the musky moon melting into the clouds already…what a gorgeous image to start this with
Well done, only diminished it by doubt. Erase it. The rest shines.
Thanks. LaTonya. I was wondering whether I’d post the second poem or not. It was actually done earlier and I was trying to have fun with a more-difficult-than-expected prompt. I thought it was a waste of effort not to put it in even though it did not go with the theme of the first one.
Wonderful.. many truly wonderful lines. 🙂
Thanks, Bjorn. 🙂
fabulous alliteration dear! Loved it!
Thank you, Debbie! 🙂
Have to disagree and say that these words are more magic than meager.
=)
Oh, thank you, Sue. You are so kind. 🙂
You wove your words well!
Thanks, fishhawk. 🙂
Very nice 🙂 🙂
So beautiful with such magic images, a very modern classic indeed. You are a wordweaver. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, pandamoniumcat. 🙂
You did, indeed, “breathe life, live love in its grandeur”–lovely.
Thank you, VBholmes. 🙂
Judging by the poem, hubby did right by you. Several memorable lines here “live love in its grandeur” and “lips and liberties entwined”
Nice work.
