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.
