Unfulfilled Romance

Wondering if she will give me the chance
To share my primal love with her alone
Adds to fostering feelings of romance
That have infested my form to the bone
But had she not played it so hard to get
And given of herself to me too soon
I think that I would then live to regret
Not laboriously working the swoon
It is an unfulfilled romance that beats
The lustful, swollen heart within my chest
And too easy a prey the game defeats
Preventing carnal love known at its best

So play the game my beautiful dove
The wait continues in boosting my love

Joe, you have quite unusual approach when you write. I am much impressed the way you have handled the theme of the sonnet, partivcularly the couplet that sums up the theme. Congrats on the 6th place win
