On scented air
a rose
and she was my flower
touching petal tips
parched lips welcomed
precious oasis,
'neath sky of night
Venus carried darkness
before rising Beauty
pale moonlight
became her skin.

"pale moonlight
became her skin."
This poem is gentle. Its mood is soft & sensual, its flow, slow & sexy. I love this, I think this is
absolutely gorgeous poetry - thanks so much for this beautiful entry.

This is lovely poetry, PK - I really like this one. Short, succinct yet still you've managed to create a sense of light here... the moon rising as metaphor for her skin...truly beautiful visuals here.
I also liked the softness, as well as the way you've applied alliteration. Yep, i like this!
Thank you for this entry.

You've captured the senses, touch, sight, smell. A beautiful collection of feelings. I especially like the last two lines, 'the pale moonlight on her skin'. It is soft and sensitive and captures the feelings showed in the three poems.
So nicely done!
Thanks H for this lovely entry.

wow, you really applied the senses and imagery very well. lines 7, 8, 9, and 10 was the best. it's a very sensitive poem.
-
The senses, that's what I think those three poems focus was on...the softness of each playing an important part in their mood and desires. And that is what you saw and followed, scented air, the touch of petals, and of course sight ("pale moonlight became her skin")
I think of all the entries, this is the one that most follows those gentle cues.
I'm pretty much ignorant when it comes to what women like but I'll venture that they'll certainly enjoy this entry.
