Constanza

Your body is my sacred shrine Its pilgrims are my seeking hands My hungry lips traverse these lands I worship you as though divine No sacrifice I count as great My only vow, your heart to sate On lips, I spill my sweetest wine The taste I take in burning kiss You bless me with the touch of bliss My fruit is yours on which to dine I offer you the richest fare My soul’s disrobed, my body bare Our union mirrors the sublime The galaxies explode in praise This sacrament, we’ll keep always Your body is my scared shrine I worship you as though divine On lips, I spill my sweetest wine My fruit is yours on which to dine Our union mirrors the sublime For Craig's Constanza Contest November 18, 2017

You did very well with this form, Eileen, and I like the topic you chose. I posted my attempt a while ago, but miss the flow that usually accompanies my rhyming forms. Hugs // paul

This is very, very lovely Eileen! I am honored that you wrote a Constanza for the contest. I have to put this into my Faves! Sensual but elegantly tasteful, just what I love! Thank you Eileen. : ) p.s. The word Constanza means Constance which is my given name.

It's not my first one, dear. :) I've written one before for another contest. I won second place with my poem Constanza Weeps. I do love this form, and you should be so proud of yourself for coming up with something so original. Also, thank you that you said I handled the subject tastefully. That means a great deal to me. Hugs
