On the Other Side When the night showed off it’s splendor T’was the hour of sweet surrender You and I shared moments tender On the side of love’s delight When the sun was brightly shining Past the line of earth’s dividing We lay in the shadows hiding Under little stars of night Equisite hours til morning sun gleams To erase the stars and moonbeams Til that hour we lived in our dreams In the darkness of the night Stars of love exude elation Stopping time and earth’s rotation Giving lovers sweet sensation Of a lifetime in one night For every single night and day For every moon that’s passed this way The hour of life’s sweetest bouquet Was under little stars at night My fondest memory of worth When sunlight dance in sprightly mirth And lit the other side of earth While we made love in dark of night In horizon’s purple shading Stars and moon on this side waiting For the hour of sunlight’s fading To create a lover’s night Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, It would be difficult to choose which of your poems are my favorite! Just when I think I have decided, you write another one that takes my breath away! This is so lovely... |

Oh, indeed! You write like a sunny summer river flowing down a mountainside. A marvelous stream of loveliness! A wonderful talent. And this is beautiful. The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

"Stars of love exude elation Stopping time and earth’s rotation Giving lovers sweet sensation Of a lifetime in one night" What a lovely style and rhythm Liz ... such a beautiful flow to this tender and romantic verse ... wonderful! Best wishes, /Kit |

Elizabeth, Equisite hours til morning sun gleams To erase the stars and moonbeams Til that hour we lived in our dreams In the darkness of the night This was beautiful writing. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Equisite hours til morning sun gleams To erase the stars and moonbeams Til that hour we lived in our dreams In the darkness of the night Stars of love exude elation Stopping time and earth’s rotation Giving lovers sweet sensation Of a lifetime in one night For every single night and day For every moon that’s passed this way The hour of life’s sweetest bouquet Was under little stars at night ====================== AHHHHHHH ..... you satisfy my craving for rhyme so divine in this jewel of cadence ... and do it with mastery and grace.. LOVE this creative rhyme scheme ... and the beautiful imagery and tender sweet emotions... ya get bonus smooches for those all my poetic basic food groups have been met for the day ... this one is like my poetic multi-vitamin for the the day WONDERFUL POETRY HERE LIZZIE!!!! wonderful way to start my day... like a dance on a sunbeam this morn like breakfast in bed thank you my poetic chef *smile* love ya my queen jm |
