Sensual Loss Sensual Gain
Her golden locks glide grandly through,
our gladioli gilded garden gateway,
I gulp ginormous groundbreaking gulleys,
telltale tear tsunamis cut cataclysmic currents,
raw reckless rupture of romantic render,
terror-stricken tangential tamper seal evidence
on lumpen lunge lonesome lachrymose levee
Abandoned to anthemion arch ambience
awash or afloat with apoplectic angst,
afterthoughts amazing amplitude aligns,
with an amorous abundance once opulent,
majestic memories marvel at mystic magnifying,
glass that multiplies mammoth moods,
separation from silken sensual strand,
sculpture in sapphire stone,
this stagnant somber seeker must supplant ,
or suppress solitude’s silent shiver
Without warning a wellspring whispered windfall,
weave from winsome woman,
wide-eyed wondrous wakeful wizardry,
woos whining wildcard wreck,
a cascade of charismatic crystal colour clusters trial,
and tribulation trauma that trembles deep inside,
delightful dawn denouement dame drifts in dreamland dale,
“precious pining pristine pearl
I present panoramic passionate parameters to
propitiate bitter broken-hearted baleful bond.”
Fantastic flourish found festoons for,
emotional evocative environment evolved,
illustrious intimate intrigue inlaid immediately,
Heather’s halcyon harmonic laces,
labyrinthine lavender love,
heart healing honeymoon handcraft
herald on high,
supreme sensei soulmates savour
sentiment surreal beyond,
an iridescent infinite inkling
