Unrequited Love

She was promised to another his older brother
who would scold him in jest taunting
I will win the ultimate jest

Her heart I will pursue the sweet smell of honeydew
Black curls frame her face
Her bosom covered in ivory lace

Five foot nothing in her heels round hips luscious lips
going wild with desire
He could only admire

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
