pure elation as I embrace you with sonnets that kindle the fire between us a constant balm that will hold you tightly in the night and caress your fears with a diamante of desire our heartbeats gradually increase by iambs to a meter uncharted unmeasured unspoken the rhyme and rhythm dance of death do us part I’m free to engage with you in words of longing stronger than love itself no daydream melody but the why it isn’t a daydream smelling of your scent after our lovemaking bursting forth into a haiku the license that bonds creating a metaphor that captures the sweetness of your satisfied moan my heart’s devotion 2/24/20 'STRAND CHOICE A 1st place Brian Strand, Sponsor
