Evening Primroses
She still remembers the night
the moon rose over Esplanade Avenue
with its light penetrating her soul
deeper than the sun on a hot summer’s day.
She stands at the ivy gate to heaven
looking up at the ghostly trees
bearded in Spanish moss.
Love creeps like ivy
through the garden of her heart.
The promise of entwinement
knots in her breast.
Luna’s ray sneaks into the keyhole
to the door of her soul
behind which secret love hides.
His ring finger is a moon ray
that touches the rosebud of her chin
until she blossoms into an evening primrose
When her blush comes unbidden
by the moonlight caress of her lover
her dress a hothouse
for skin that swarms like luna moths in love
that climb her trellis of moonbeams
whose grail is her perfume ghost
that haunts the lambent lunar lattice

I still liked the other as well though too. Both are so full of emotion. Very moving reads and BOTH are expertly done as is always the case with your dynamic writing my friend.
