Now And Forever

May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love! - Thoreau

as it shimmered and beckoned

we journeyed through the night and beyond

floating on the beaming cortex of an omniscient moon

despite the sun trying to raise its blinding veil

well shy of a high noon

lost in the miraculous rapture of an unequivocal endowment from heaven above

the stars winking their fertile, prescient blessings accordingly

embracing ourselves and each other with an intangible thing called love

time stood still as it summoned our hearts to eternity

ignoring all the warnings of the one-eyed, gypsy lady

along with a not-so-crystal ball of taciturnity

.

Author's Note

“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.” - Thoreau

Nothing like the moon, stars and the heavens to create an ambience condusive to love. Very much enjoyed the imagery here Pete. Felt the love in your poem. Hope all is good with you.

Yep Pete it was unbearable and we don't have air conditioning in our homes. For two days last week I thought I was in the Sahara:) Hope you get some rain soon to replenish your river. The Thames is also well down on water levels.

Romantically tenacious in this endeavor called love. You take us on a fanciful celestial journey to the stars and beyond. With rapturous applause, I celebrate along.
