Free Verse On Love
pure elation
as I embrace you with
sonnets that kindle the fire
between us
a constant balm that will
hold you tightly in the night
and caress your fears
with a diamante of desire
our heartbeats gradually increase
by iambs to a meter uncharted
unmeasured
unspoken
the rhyme and rhythm dance
of death do us part
I’m free to engage with you in words
of longing stronger than love
itself
no daydream melody
but the why it isn’t a daydream
smelling of your scent after our
lovemaking bursting forth into
a haiku
the license that bonds
creating a metaphor that captures
the sweetness of your satisfied moan
my heart’s devotion
