this kiss, yours - is an unbridled sonnet
tart as wild juniper berries in gin
brimming with seduction & sloppy grin
unpredictable as crashing rocket
who would have guessed, we like chaos & black
not sweet strawberries, but peppery to
roll our tongues in shock, like a strong brew-
we adore brightness & shadows, a stack
of poems. if we cared what they say we are-
not compatible, crazy kids with wheels-
we would not be here, love drunk, twined in teal
in a heartbeat, your eyes are silver stars
you gift me a lush garden of verses:
unrhymed poetry, dance beats, blue metric,
guitar riffs, rocking my world electric-
there's no time to dally in rehearsals
your lyrics unravel me, spilling ink
moon tides, my lungs on fire, i flower pink
Posted for dVerse Poets Pub- MTB with John Donne and his Heroic Sonnet hosted by Bjorn Rudberg.
I reworked some of the lines I wrote here and made this a longer poem, following the sonnet model as requested by Bjorn. Thanks for your comments.
