OOPS....once again I took the contest theme and ran with it.......before reading all the requirements of the contest. Thanks to John Hamilton for the prompt.

What of the fading dreams of golden fleece long lost amid the fears from which they fled when does the angst of separation cease release them as cold memory’s they shed allow the lifeless crest of frozen waves a mellowing approach to warm sand beach unloose the blackened cape from wintry knaves grant them the wishes that they so beseech Sun’s flames do so ignite these dormant loves that in the heat of sated warmth they bloom awakening a fluttering of doves to marvel at the peacocks mating plume. Oh temptress, sweet seduction’s wiles unveil ‘neath sated moon let nature’s lusts prevail. John G. Lawless ©3/1/2019

John----I think this perfect from every angle--I've read it a few times and it gets better with each---the iambic pentameter, the message, the rhyme--traditional flavor mixed with modern thought---LOVE IT!
