 ~*~

 

 

Stars wink at the moonlight 

dancing upon the lonely image.

 

Mind tossed...

caught by intuitive breezes
seducing curtains sway,
restlessly skimming
surface to shivers~

~fingers follow,

trying to catch his breath

heading south
alone to see, the sleepy dreams
awakening.

    mmmm, just what does one say here,
    without a prompt, I am left to advert my eyes
    from the obvious and be intrigued
    by the "seducing _ curtains sway"

    there is much to consider here

      LOL hehe.. I reposted the prompt. I removed it from the contest and I liked it so I kept it, but I suppose I should have kept the prompt there. lol Didnt even consider how it would come across. lol Thanks for comming by

    A complete delightfulness, rather than mess. lol
    Loved the metaphore and imagery in this one, took the prompt into another stage and poured so much emotion into it.
    Good luck in the contest.

    "skimming
    surface to shivers~" - very nice alliteration. I like where you went with the prompt. you took a very dark man's words and turned it into a very soft poem. thank you for entering, goodluck

    "Restlessly skimming / surface to shivers" actually gave me goosebumps. Very imaginative take on the prompt, and your imagery is wonderful. I love the visual of trying to catch breath with your fingers. The last few lines feel fragmented, though—punctuation/capitalization issue, maybe? Overall, it's beautiful. Great choice for the background, too. Good luck!

      LOL Well I just took the words not so much who said them as inspiration.
      Thank you for the nice comment.
