Intemperate Trail of Love

Lofty oracle did with ceremonious rite fealty ordain Two eagles soared on fecund mountain terrain As twin peaks, sipped frothy dew from Venus's fountain For a fortnight, rapturous clouds danced o'er my satin mane But euphoric heights could not our platonic bond sustain Anon, gilded valley below did your wandering eye retrain Your cresting ego did my cherubic halo disdain In wanderlust, you sifted greener pastures; drifting swain Silting the tender lillies with a blighting stain While from my spent pollen your nimble legs did abstain As strapping lad, your insatiable mind rippling brooks did drain Your **** desires drove you to climb the rockiest domain And with intemperate senses the wildest herbs strain My domesticated coattails could not stride your brackish train My sallowing rose did a mildewed ring attain Yet wilting stalk did in your fluttering shadow remain Hoping for the cleansing tides of a penitent rain

I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Stephen. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol
