Poems old and new

Entwined

Entwined


It was a sunny day
in the month of May.
My heart was afire
with joy and desire.

Here’s someone
not really known.
Even so there’s
no apprehension.

He walks in, gait sure
eyes lit with joy pure.
Magnificent moments
of perfect predicament.

My maiden heart broke
into a new song soaked
in the honey of love
lasting forever and now.

Though surrounded
we were insulated,
linked in soul and spirit
hearts merged in merit.

Rings exchanged
felt more assured
promised to one another
pledged to each other.

Strangers no more
familiar to the core,
like the sea, the stars, the sky
our destinies forever entwined.
