Over one pendant heart our sighs enmesh,
Gripped by a similar aspirant fuse,
To engage and perpetrate our love,
Resolve our natures, past abuse.
Set apart from stolen trysts;
Enjoyed in our own pristine ways;
Captioned by us alone with worth;
Our love supplies itself with praise.
Enthused with thoughts of sacrifice
Made pleasure, when another’s wish
Suggests that all is not suffice,
My hope ferments, divinely sung.
More fully seasoned with each kiss
A good ripe wine tells on the tongue.

Some poetry needs to be read aloud, and savored for the meaning it stirs. While open for interpretation, “Love Sonnet” strikes a personal chord. Thanks.

I enjoy poetry that moves me. I like to read poetry aloud, especially when it has a good cadence and touches the heart. Otherwise really good poems lose something in delivery.
