Slow Love

Slow down the river though you love the flow. Such eyes see only smooth pretty current. Such eyes seem sure sunshine shall always show. Slow down the river, let it breathe content. No – do not be in love with loving me. Yes – I could gift you loving prose filled thought - Infer full spectrum love for us to see, But reality would soon have us caught. Some days I’m insane, will you love me then? Slow down the river, with love hold my hand. When I am useless, will you love me then? Slow down the river, see how love will land. The love we feel may only be mishap. Slow love, for now just hold me in your lap. ... CayCay Jennings Written: October 29, 2015 Contest: Trashed #3 Sponsor: Broken Wings 5th Place

AN ACTUAL 10 SYLLABLE PER LINE, 14 LINE SONNET! AMAZING! Usually the poems called sonnets are NOT. That said, you wrote a lovely sonnet. I love "Slow Down the River..." just what we want to do to life and especially for love. Really lovely write. Isn't this fun? I'm out Cherry-Picking my reads tonight. PICK...you feel that?

I can relate to 'slowing down love', CayCay. Avoids the peril of burnout while offering space to feelings which do not necessarily hinge on the physical. I love the image and 'feel' of the end couplet. #7 ~ Regards // paul
