erstwhile lovers at midday

collide/collude in their special way

leaving us breathless, momentarily

in the darkened day, spectacularly

paramores, of shadow and light

Serenading one another in delight

erstwhile lovers, au revoir

*

Thanks for ready!

    This is gorgeous in every way. I love the gentle ethereal feel of it. Also, just checking in and wondering how you’ve been going lately?

    I loved the 'leaving us breathless' line...I felt myself suck in a breath. Beautifully done :)

    I like the dancing imagery in this one, and for some reason I noticed it has quite a few L and S words. I like the flow Paul😊

    I feel like that picture had to have inspired this as it’s perfectly appropriate and captures that ‘dance’. ☺️ P. is an excellent word choice (and sound) which made me enjoy your poem even more!!

  • This was so lovely, Sir Paul! Well done! 🍩🥐
