In day's last light
he moved very quietly
hidden behind her
hidden from moon
his non-existent shadows
spooked her out
out came her arms
to protect her facade
and hit him instead
hit by her
he fell on ground
embracing it
sweet earthy embrace
took him in
held him like a lover
earth as his beloved
he kissed it passionately
needing none other

Don't have words to express, just one thing.. amazing lines..
sweet earthy embrace
took him in
held him like a lover
Thoughts.. you have a way to express Gautami..
I like the flow and rhythm of this poem.
She certainly brought him down to earth!
I love the feeling of this poem - sweet, sensual and earthy.
Now that is what I call falling in love, need I say it: I LOVE IT ;)
and the word verification is perfect for your version of love:
BRITIAL
instead of
bridal
because it needs the T of a BRUTE
and I know you get this :)
I love how the imagery of each stanza gets flipped into something new for the next one. Really love this one, Gautami!
Such beautiful poetry that seems to just flow easily. Good job!
I love how he didn't get what he wanted, but embraced what he ended up with anyway.
The Rolling Stones..."you can't always get what you want, but you get what you need" played through my head after reading this.

Yeah! I too like how he didn't get what he wanted but embraced what he got and loved it.
