The Adonis

A Canvas Reproduction of 'The Awakening of Adonis'

Picture Credit: Courtesy of Google

Nights of Love

Passionate nights of love
Extending its sensuous arms
To rekindle the fire of two souls
Lost in qualms of agony
Pain and pleasure intertwined
In a glued ecstasy

Oblivious of the ambience
Presented on a silver platter
Young hearts young bodies
Robust nights aflutter
To savor to their heart’s content
Never in all its abundance

Do they find a love?
So warm and tender
In all its make-up, a feast
Leading to a rosy glow
Of cheeks emboldened
Not by the very least

By the sheer fitness and strength
Of the muscled-toned Adonis!

Inspired by Jingle's Poetry with prompt 'Passionate nights of love ' week #48

    You really captured the essence of that photo and the prompt. No wonder Adonis is so exhausted ;)

    Love how you have captured all that the photo is, its essence...

    Thanks for stopping over at mine, yes I am back at least in some manner. The hand/wrist has improved quite a bit over the week, though there is still some pain with use of it.
