Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Uttered

"Words uttered in anger can weigh heavy on the heart, 
but those uttered in contrition absolves a sorrowful soul."
                                                                       ~ authored by poet
                                                                 
Apologetic words, asking forgiveness were uttered
Each one spoken with apprehension as he stuttered
Absolved from carrying the weight of a heavy heart
His soul was liberated so we could make a new start
  
Romantic words into my ear, he then softly uttered
I felt my lips begin to tremble; my heart fluttered
No longer encumbered by any doubt and concern
since he'd finally declared love for me in return

Tenderly, he held me. Passionate sighs we uttered
The flames of desire burned brighter and sputtered
We kissed as the moon glowed in lucent splendor
My only thought at that moment was, "I surrender"

Unseeking Seeker November 4, 2022 at 8:06 PM My, my! An enchanting and captivating write ~ enjoyed immensely Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 8:27 PM I’m encouraged by your comments. Thank you, Seeker.

Arlo Parker November 4, 2022 at 7:54 PM Your imagination (or experience recall) is so well adjoined to the craft you employ in these pieces, Miss Jenna. Virtually any of them could be contest winners, but standing on their own, they're just damn fine poetry. Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 8:26 PM Thank you for your kind thoughts through supportive remarks, Arlo.

Frederic Parker November 4, 2022 at 3:57 PM The greatest gift to any relationship is knowing when to do the right thing... Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 4:14 PM That’s true but it’s not always what we do. Putting loved ones first should be priority. Thanks for commenting, Frederic.

L Milton Hankins November 4, 2022 at 12:30 PM So beautiful, Jenna. Called to mind times I should have done precisely as you write. Unfortunately, men are from Mars! Sometimes we pass the most wonderful opportunities to express our love. Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 4:12 PM Sometimes we take our loved ones for granted. That’s sorrowful. Thanks, Milt.

Nancy Kaufman November 4, 2022 at 8:02 AM so passionate and well written. Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 11:45 AM Thank you very much, Nancy.

David Bose November 4, 2022 at 7:12 AM I'll be in trouble after showing this to my wife--she'll expect me to write something this romantic with such beautiful sentiment. Lovely job, I hope it doesn't put me in the doghouse (again). --Dave Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 7:24 AM aww, David. I don't wish to be the cause of a domestic problem... lol Please write something that will redeclare your love, kiss her in the moonlight, and make her surrender to you. Thanks for the terrific compliments and let me know if you are allowed to sleep in your own bed tonight.
