by a classic quick thinking reaction
freezing all other intruding restrains
passion he could not genuinely control
at random but sometimes surreptitiously wanting
its lethal strength neatly wrapped from view
freezing all other intruding restrains
passion he could not genuinely control
at random but sometimes surreptitiously wanting
its lethal strength neatly wrapped from view
blossoming into light kisses at his bidding
blossoming rightly to weave in and around
its likeness to an overlapping season
at best with no recourse but to proceed
passion overwhelmed not to be cautious
freezing any thoughts of holding back
by giving in to the love of his life

I feel the struggle and surrender in this piece, Hank. I especially like "its likeness to an overlapping season
ReplyDeleteat best with no recourse but to proceed"
"Mish"
DeleteExcellent job with the inversion of the line. I chose the same line. Wonderful write Hank! 👍🏼🙂✌🏼❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat can tame a heart? Excellent write!
ReplyDeleteHank I also enjoyed the resistance in the first stanza and the surrender in the 2nd. I like how you created a couplet in the center of your poem, to link the stanzas. That's where the alchemy happens.
ReplyDeletethat middle stanza is sensational
ReplyDeleteThe mirror works so well and I think in the end there is nothing else to do than to give in.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the prompt with inversion, Hank. The same line, in so many hands, assumed different meanings.
ReplyDelete"with no recourse but to proceed..."
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth, Hank.
Hope you're doing fine.
