Nominated by AMETHYST last month, deferred to August...Starlit Seduction by Eisa is a skillfully painted Sonnet, giving the form a trinket of wonder to steal the hearts of those who are unfamiliar with it. Eisa paints a romantic, sensual poem in a unique and fresh way. She utilizes the loveliness of the sky and the cosmic wonders to have them put on a play for the reader, as a love tale between the entities above what is earth bound. Eisa has truly touched my heart with this one.

Starlit Seduction by Eira NeedhamThe curtain’s drawn; a spangled velvet sheet
creates a welcome shade from summer’s heat.
A slumber blankets earth with dreams, as night’s
seductive moonbeams dance in shadowed light.
Big eyes entice the sky, they wink and flirt;
she fingers silver buttons on his shirt
to proudly flaunt her galaxies of gems
on midnight’s hand. He lifts her sequined hem
as stellar rays caress the dark. She sighs
when kisses scatter over sultry skies
to burst in supernova’s rising cloud;
the climax of the night -- she gasps aloud.
The curtain slowly opens -- there’s no rush;
as dawn appears, the sky begins to blush.
