A Noteworthy Passion

I wonder if a human heartbeat sings Will lonely people witness perfect song As Passion plays upon these lovely strings What noteful kisses capture can't be wrong Young bodies merging into blissful tone She succumbs to his perfect passion pitch True heartfelt music crushes even stone The harmony of love makes them feel rich Rise lovers pleasured treble heating air Young dancers moving slowly within beat A trumpet playing fuelling what they share Each movement foretold in a music sheet Praise lover's anthem written in the song Yes music as a heartbeat beating strong For Brenda Chiri's Sonnet contest If you are going to have a first date do it in style!

An original stylized poem in sonnet form, Richard. Unique wordplay and phrasing. I love the musical motif too. I'm hearing Carole King's "Jazzman" as I'm reading this. Real swing this poem has. Love is the air ... and this poem as musical flair. Beautiful poem. Love and joy to you.

Pretty good. Much better if you kept the grammar correct all the way. Each movement foretold in a music sheet Praise lover's anthem written in the song ok, it doesn't sound so grandiose but it reads much more clearly.
