Behind us
moon-kissed sea
sound of surf
scent of salt;
sand still warm
hands seeks solace
skin on skin
we converse
in racing heartbeats
when a sudden
draught of wind
ice the spell
and we return for
you to meet
again
your waiting groom.
Gabriel Ferrier
Today De hosts dVerse Quadrille and the word to use in our 44 word short poems is moon. Mine is a little story that might not have happened to me, but for sure has happened to others.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Oh, I love that moon-kissed sea, especially.
I knew it would according to your taste 🙂
Very romantic, Björn! I love all the sibilance and the sudden draught of wind icing the spell, and the fact that your quadrille has a groom and mine has a paramour.
I think we had similar thoughts here… 🙂
Maybe me poem is written from the perspective of the moon 🙂
Passion, betrayal, I sense a Greek tragedy in the offing ….
Or just the potential of an affair fizzling out to the sea
moon kissed sea, racing heartbeats….a very romantic poem indeed.
Moons are either spooky or romantic I think.
Sizzlingly good, Bjorn. You’ve captured the sensory aspects vividly. “sand still warm” under moonlight. ooh la la
Thank you… the moon helps to capture the mood
My pleasure 🙂
I like that switch from warm to chill. Waking, a dash of cold water 🙂
I wanted to have a bit of story and not just romance
Moon-kissed–so beautiful–and that chill at the end. Excellent!
Has to be a twist I think.
I suppose so. 🙂
Very romantic setting. Luv “moon-kissed sea”
Happy Monday
Much🖤love
sound of sea and scent of surf are always a wonderful place to share anything.
Very romantic and beautiful Bjorn. Loved this!
Such romantic images, but the twist at the end! Lovely writing.
we converse
in racing heartbeats
–so much embodied in those two lines. (K)
“moon kissed” sets the tone. “We got married in a
fever” like set in a romantic way, not so brash.
I like, Bjorn.
..
As sensuous a celebration of the senses as I’ve seen! And all in 44 words! Marvelous!
A lover’s tryst under a sun-kissed moon. Eloquently penned.
Oh that moon is a tricky lover for sure.
A secret tryst before reality strikes again… very atmospheric, Bjorn!!!
Lovely! I especially appreciate the darker turn at the end… I wonder what happened to them?
The image of the bat works well with “ice the spell.”
Thank you
Your description of the sea is perfect … I hope this is a love not destined to be doomed, it deserves to continue till death they do part.
I think the groom has doomed it .
Very sensual, Björn! Love it ❤️
Love the romantic vibes ❤
Excellent, Björn! ❤
