From Deep Within My Heart

Frequently, fragrantly followeth I
Fickle and fallow and famously shy
New love is true love and true love is known
Not by the seed but the need to be grown

Fortune may function to fashion your fate
Finding the future of passion is great
If your position is painfully pressed                                                                                                                                                                      
Feign your audition and gainfully rest

Blamelessly fighting the urge of the pack
Shamelessly citing the courage they lack
Purely delighting the young and the old
Surely inciting the tongue of the bold

Sleeping is meant to be well by the way
Reaping her scent by the smell of the day
Keeping her bent to the vent is the key
Seeping that went from the tent next to me

Leaping about is the essence of fame
Deepening doubt is the presence of blame
Death is the vagrance of hope in the beast
Life is the fragrance of love in the least.

Gosh, yes, I have not heard from you in a long while if I never saw THIS one yet. Well done, my friend, and congrats in the contest. This may have been about the last time Connie commented to you. Since you were gone, are you aware that she passed away? Soupmail me more details of what you mentioned in your recent comment to me.
