Endless Devotion

In a valley where our hands etched the moon Through luster of nightfall’s October veil; We shared confidences through hazed monsoon As I rambled on, keeping each detail Of common views…angels, books, a jazz tune While a serenade for two charmed night’s grail, Igniting warmth with his presence everyday… Slowly, we knew this was destiny’s way. Through persistent journeys, time clasped one spark Enshrining three years graced by light above, A pledge to remain steadfast, to embark On endless devotion crowned by flamed love. Again, he offered eternity’s mark, That would seal our vow like heaven’s white dove And my moist eyes glistened just like before, “Dear one, fate shall lead us to evermore.” Love Story Contest For Silent One Form of Rhyme: Ottava Rima Re-submitted 11/3/2017

***My third place, I like the shortness of this verse yet compacted with beautiful imagery, lovely flow and the love feeling etched in the lines… the last two lines, that's just vulnerably tender in which love truly brings the widest smile and the soulful tears.. BIG CONGRATULATIONS!~Olive Eloisa =`)
