Love Poem: Passionate Pair

Passionate Pair

The woodland's sights and scents add a piquancy to the affair

By the moonlight's inky, starry gaze, so fleeting to retain

To dawn's fragile light shadows benignly filtering through

The damp, earthy undergrowth a mossy bed convenient

An ample, rough bark, redwood tree and gnarled, dry spreading roots.

A humble haven for primal, abandoned, wanton display

The foliage green canopy conceals a multitude of sins

Anton, my lover, you are the saviour of my heart and soul

Truly I love to breathe your masculine scent and hair

Struggling to restrain my appetites when you are nearby

Alone I desperately yearn for you, it's my private fear

But today I am ecstatic , for you have proposed to me

To imagine having you all  to myself in body and soul.

Anton, I shall prove my love for you is of the constant kind

All those sacrifices we have made could surely only bind

Let the headiness I feel pirouette me into your arms

To feel your consuming ardency continue on and on

I love our bit of heaven we experience when alone

Continually let us revive that special passionate spark

Passions do fade allocated to dusty memory banks

But my love so rejuvenates me as we meet every day

My dear Anton I am afraid to live this life without you

I want you to reiterate that you feel the same for me

Totally enveloped in your entire world implicitly 

Once an old fortune teller asked me to cross her hand with gold

As she had a precious gem of knowledge to impart to me

Her vivid, streaked, carmine red mouth grinned amiably

As she tightly held my hand and peered at my outstretched palm

Perusing it lengthily said advantages there would be

"Look into my eyes, oh yes I see a grand passion madam"

Seeing my doubtful gaze, she said "it is all here in your hand"

"You must tell me when shall it be" I vocally did demand

"Patience, soon, very soon, the man is quite a suitable match"

Excitedly I jumped for joy "in life you mean", I questioned

"No, never that, it shows an equally passionate pair".
