Rhythmed ... Hearts thrum ... Some, far heavier than others Darker, deeper, more tender and intense ... Those, hung on the hook of vows and affiance So quickened by a mournful word A promise that bloats with guarantee and dream Its hems, glinting with hopeful sparks ... The most treasured of tales A grand and vainglorious fiction Honed, precise, with sublime edge To bleed lovers' beats to stillness ... "Forever" ~ Honorary Mention ~ in the "Completely Your Choice 15, Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 3rd Place ~ in the "The Promise" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Judge & Sponsor.
