Yet I Stayed, Wooed By Nascent Azure Sky

Cheerily blew ocean breeze in beach-park
Till fiery tides climbed bouncing giant rock
Spurred on by the churning clouds hosting dark
As hazy winds ravaged paths on your walk
Rattling lashing gust where fishing boats dock.
Stranger were we, till blinding storm hit blast
Pouring pelting rain on our budding talk,
Waddling needlessly in each other's past--
Alas, like summer rain, our amour faded fast!

Yet I stayed, wooed by nascent azure sky
Charmed anew by rising violet hue
Dispersing vestiges of storm gone by
Enchanting crowds in periwinkle view
As you returned bearing secret you knew
Ready for the prize with smile in your eyes
Admiring beauty in portrait I drew
Starring just you beneath amorous skies
Depicted by my hands sporting romantic highs.

A brief romantic encounter when there was pelting rain and raging storm ! Though it died down soon, came back with a vengeance to be in each others clasp and grasp ! Beautiful .....

Did this one win a contest. Someone wrote congratulations, so I echo that if you won a contest with it. It would be very well deserved.

Spenserian stanzas are not easy to write, Vijay, but you delivered with apparent ease, dealing with a romantic topic that tugs at our imagination. Regards // paul
