Badly bloated;
Daily devoted;
Silver coated;
Duly noted.
Across water boated;
Ruby throated;
Castle moated;
Around touted;
Poem wroted;
Out pointed;
Available and anointed;
Have been appointed;
Was disjointed.

Form: Couplet
where the magic lies in us all
underneath where the light doesn't fall
wrought by touch on silken skin
only then can you see within
in the daylight we come up short
a heart moated inside castled support
diminished by the sun shining bright
feelings only in lunar light
seeping openly in the dead of night
covert thoughts not talked about
not putting in all that we take out
stepping outside to check for rain
before we tuck it back in again
love and affection travel far
flying faster to get where you are
so the magic can be displayed
all through the night and into the day
there the magic meets with Grace
the smiles from an angel's face
jade green wonder meets blue sky eyes
wanderlust meets a quick demise

Small moated manorhouse oriel windows silver mists
White damask silver and crystal tinkling chime sounds
Yew and privet hedges grew over the rose brick facade
Overlooking a small pond and fountain leading toward
Poodle topiary garden path forking onto a glinting river
Through the maze her blushing complexion reddened
The scent of his warm breath fresh musky and alluring
Young ladies are drawn to him like metal to a magnet
Curved hedge edges came to a dead end Rich chuckle
In the midst of the privy maze safetys kept and hemmed
Savouring forgotten scents of deep pink rose blooms
Powerful blood-red rose perfume that wafted in waves
