Passion of his heart, beating fast.
That one true soul, he longs to know.
Those tempting smiles, to be outcast.
He’s found the one, his seed to sow.
Her eyes - the sky; her hair - the sun.
The inner squeeze, of her - he’s pleased.
He dares her space and finds her fun.
This man enrapts her smile, when teased.
The harp’s accord, the zephyr-beast.
So gentle-strong, the wind of love.
They twirl about a moonlight-feast.
Crowd jealous of a single dove.
He plucked mirth-rose in love-blind whim.
They soared in pitch, a soulmate-match.
His chalice, rich - to peak of rim.
The purest rose - a classic catch.
