A Sempiternal Legacy

~they embraced in their dalliance~
her appetency held a depth so deep he just couldn’t 
resist placing his hands around her barren waste
(she reaches for him with ardor)

for tonight was auspicious and ebullience showered 
them with the twinkles only stardust spreads;
forever scattering allure and passion with strength 
and hankering devotion,
sowing their love with intentions of...
savoring each emotion

they conflated as if they were always predestined 
to celebrate marriage different from the rest-
the assuage erased the anguish;
what was once atrocious is now emollient 
(softer than ivory silk)

when hope goes awry they stand tall side by side, 
each wearing pride-
the crookedness of life transformed into candor and 
honesty
she decided to absolve her demure nature;
feeding the emptiness with the nourishment of 
his reliability and fervency for her brilliant mind

two auras ~kaleidoscopic~
enveloped by heaven's cobalt hues,
desire for love prevails with affection

her felicity swathed his soul,
his serendipity ran through her veins as if she was 
sheathed by his charisma;
a sempiternal legacy was left for the coming 
generational bonds yet to be formed

    love in the making-
saved 
         two 
hearts from breaking

Lulu, the triumph of love over heartbreak. A couple who cannot have children (or who lost a child?) find love and healing in one another's arms. So powerful and exquisitely worded. I learned some new words, too! Congrats, this one's a fav. ~ John

You pulled out the vocabulary stops on this one. I like this line "what was once atrocious is now emollient (softer than ivory silk)"
