COURTSHIP
Trekking took us on mountain top
Flocks of birds chirped, chattered and hoped.
Off and on foggy curtain to drop.
We two sat in front of fountain.
A day of courtship on mountain.
Love! Probable or certain?
Frolic fountain oozing droplets,
as diamonds shine on my wristlets.
In mind poem rhymed in couplets.
Love adorned with crown of glory.
For the day we forgot worry.
Every droplet told our story.
Our courtship now to roll and run
May be in rains or under Sun.
Two young hearts sink in unison.

Beside the Fountain
Tough trekking took us on top of mountain.
Flocks of birds chirped, chattered to entertain.
We two sitting in front of a fountain.
From fantastic fountain oozing droplets,
glistening like diamonds on my wristlets.
We enjoyed most precious moments.
Our joint venture attained victory.
Success adored us with crown of glory.
Each droplet of fountain told our story.

PRECIOUS MOMENTS Contest by Kim Rodrigues
No embellishment or adornment
can do justice to your perfection of form
and inherent , innate beauty.
What are baubles beside your perfect ear?
Your slender neck
would put Nefertiti's nefer beads to shame.
Diamond studded nose rings or wristlets
touching your smooth satiny skin
would be mere eyesores
bereft of substance
or worth.
You are perfect,
my love,
my heart,
my pretty
little one.
We'll reserve
the trinkets
for when
you lose
your innocence.
