A Love For All Seasons

At the spring celebration Jill had a head start
She danced across the floor straight to his open heart
Lit by love and glowing like an eternal flame
Passion in motion ere she even knew his name
 
When he first took her hand, she felt electrified
In the months that ensued feelings intensified
Carpet of crimson rose petals strewn on her bed
The pair gave not a thought to what might lie ahead
 
But when the festive holiday season came ‘round
A garland of fir branches on her head he crowned
As he knelt before her in front of the fireplace
In a blanket of tender love she felt encased
 
Bowing before her, he presented a diamond ring
For their love affair proved to be more than a spring fling

hey you, your poem is very good as always, I'm more concerned about your health is it getting better? God as we know has a very good way of showing us what can happen in faith, anyway, I've moved from santa Barbara and moved to Buelllton california into a new place so that is why I haven't posted any poems lately, but it wil be ok after wednesday this week and should be more into you when I go back online by saturday, God bless lol robert

What a very sweet story of love, enjoyed reading your sonnet, Carolyn :D isn't that just awesome when this happens? Thank you very much for always leaving such insightful comments on my poems, happy to share a something new with the bloodstones and you are just too kind to say that, but I have to disagree, you actually had me sort of cackling at myself- yes I am oval, oval ovals everywhere, I can be a Michelin girl lol :D but I deeply appreciate your confidence in my figure hugs :D thank you
