your silhouette lingers into a soft verse; ebony etched ethereal aura engrained on age old canvas- like a chrysalis your affection encompasses me in comfort ~safeguarded from fear forevermore~ for you shield me from persistent weathered seasons; defend me against the lassitude of grievances i somehow call forth when i am finally happy… hands once ached, now solaced; tears once shed, now dried- fear erased like a pencil's mishap, satchel of passion prevails...dignified enchanted by epiphanies of alluring nights, where touch remains intimate; sheets of satin lining my curves- eyes catch like the first and you whisper… “i’m still so madly in love with you”- you devour me whole - bad seeds and all; (you always did see my scars as beautiful) i am left unscathed in your arms kept safe by love’s renown shield- you are the magic holding the heavens up in the sky... thank God i am FOREVER yours ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Best Free Verse From 2019 Date - November 5, 2019 Sponsor - John Hamilton
