That I bravely entered the loop.
Now my mind works in meters 
And couplets compete as
I O.D. on Poetry Soup!...

But stingy like a bee around this hour

Yet I long for your presence above...

Pale demonic devils
Satan
The earth he is hating

Desire
To cast them in the fire
Earth
A realm under the dirt
Is hell
All the devils of hell...

hiding the sun as day breaks.

Inside the fire speads its heat
throughout the big room replete.

Round out all the rough edges 
file them down to couplets;
Lost letter shavings
that didn't fit;
Chugalug
Muse's 
gold.

Stay true to your words
embattle the storm
With rudder set deeply
each letter reborn 
Stay true to the verse
in couplets of rhyme
To capture the moment
—in oceans of time

With vines sweet nectar, align.

Eyes aglow with passion's fire,
Verses sung, our hearts aspire.

A loves embrace, beauty's charms
sweet nectar within your arms

into rivers of his childhood dreams

Youthful romance begins with a kiss
concluded in a lifetime of bliss

in a sky weaving black threads.
Moonlight beams as lovers play,
passions dance as desires sway.
Lost in whispers of heartbeats,
savouring forbidden treats....

Strength in the format,
  couplets have power

Magic in tandem,
 —mine becomes ours

Marriage so faithful,
  words intertwine

Together transformed,
 —ink into wine
