All Needs More

Before exploration, encounter ran its course She wanted simplicity, he tended to soul search Vixen and Mr. Marriage sprung from alternate reason Ship containing contradiction was destined to lurch Pledge of sledge hammer sex initially extended Revoked by omnipresent insecurity Prowling for night of abandon, unquenched lust driven Met his wall built by fear, founded in obscurity Decay of a dream, mismatched to hers, devoid of care Love to a morphed charicature, - what motivation? Superfluous term of submissive whimsy's windblown Self worth held no place for emotional temptation Rusted hinges swung between satisfied and longing Chance to be susceptible to tenderness, renounced By transient track spanning decades, independent Her resilience rode solo strengths in endless amounts 21st September 2020 Written for Contest : Decay Sponsor: Constance La France 13 syllables per line
