Free Verse On Love

In perfect rhythm they coupled softened rhymes Yet they did not adhere to the script and chapter This will be over in a flash the onlookers assured You are lacking staying power and our approval Self appointed hypocrits Ignorant pitiless voyeurs Waiting for the downfall Metaphors personified Projection of arrogance Many moons have now passed and blessed the union Not a day without the sweet scent of cinnamon bark Flowers of lavender and wild herbs on their passion When they undress the secret potion of compassion Breathing exultations of joy Inhaling fragrance of roses Persimmon sucked into joy Ambrosia seeding in repose Settling intimate passage As they drink nectar from amphora’s safe vessels Imbibe on priceless respect and infinite promise They renew their vows and turned with the tides Floodgates cascading crescendos of sensual flow I love you forever my cherub and angel Heavens have opened in mango delight My nib dips deep in your fountain forever Spilled ink finds poetry in joined motion I will cherish you again and again ever more 24th February 2020
