Dear John

The moment I saw you I was hooked

Like a carp on a line

Like a drunkard on wine

I wrestled with my thoughts

Rapping myself in my sheets

Twisted like a vine

Trying to erase the thought of you from my mind

I thought not to give in to the feeling and surrender to my desire

I thought I would win

As embers glowed in earthy fires

Then one day I glimpsed you walking through the park

And my spirit was set free

Like white doves from a marooned ark

Soon we were captured in the moonlight

As our lips embraced

Our love red like pomegranate seeds

Leaping Fiery red like the spirit of the sun

Silent peace with enchanting serenity enveloped the moment

stamped firm its seal by the grip of your loving hand

we must marry and make long term plans

As I envisage lingering lost forever in the fold of your arms.
