The Heart's Yield

She did not yield to his advances
 Playing hard to get, taking chances
 He sent her a bouquet of red roses
 As his quest for love he poses

 Love becomes a game of pursuit
 In an attempt to capture her heart
 Like a tango in steps so cute
 As she dances to the beat he imparts

 Soon he will close in on his desire
 She's the lovely flower in the field
 Then they will spark love's fire
 And to love's pursuit she will yield

Ah, Joseph, such a beautiful poem. Indeed, she plays the classic game of hard to get which serves to grow her suitor’s ardor, with the desired end result achieved. Your expressive imagery is admired, my friend. Congratulations for your excellent win in Constance’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

When the time is right, everything seems to fall into place. A heart yields for a reason. Love is a beautiful emotion, and she wanted to make sure his intentions were honest and sincere. This is beautiful in some many ways. Your thoughts caress softly around me. Hugs, Brandy

A good one, so well-written, Joseph. You know, it is true that love is basically a game of pursuit. The problem is how do we keep 'em after we catch 'em? Good stuff, my friend. Good luck in the contest.
