Roma Girl

Summer magic
you got it going on
your eyes and your smile
are voodoo

like stardust on my lips
and moondust on my fingertips
you slip away
and you're gone

smile on
let starlight be
your guide
tonight

your dreams are as real
as the energy we feel
adrift in this aurora

Winter night
frozen starlight
alone is me
alone is you
I can't let go
I won't let go
never let you go

Goodnight everyone...It's late in my little corner of the universe...I will dream about you... --Tony

A magical feel to this one, otherworldy, even.

I think the thing about it that I especially like is the way you combine the otherworldly elements with the very earthy ones:

"stardust on my lips
and moondust on my fingertips"

The juxtaposition is nice, and the "real world" details (lips, fingertips) help anchor the more emotion oriented lines in the rest of the poem. Works well for you.

It's getting late in the evening here, and outside the skies are clouded over, but I'm seeing stars in a deep, clear sky after reading this, regardless. Thanks for letting us see it, TonyV.

Thank you for your kind words, Lucinda. I'm glad you liked it!

Tony
