Joseph Spence Sr Poet Free verse

Our Sweetest Love

Your heart is an envelope of my desire
A symbol of my love on fire;
It captures the essence of my love
Like tasting fine wine it ferments in time.

Like fresh juicy grapes in a vineyard,
Wrapped together as the vines cling to each other;
The sweetness of your love awaits my touch,
Such lasting pleasure, as I raised my chalice
With a wonderful toast, "To our sweetest love!"
