Are you enough brave to write this way?

Most of people think that the easiest way to write is to write love poetry. Wrong!
Your readers must hear it, see it, feel it on their tongue and under their skin...

Prompt

"It is a time for love, my beloved,
come into my garden!
The vine has flowered,
the pomegranate has blossomed."

Song of songs - Solomon

Rules:

Free style
Left aligned
No sticky caps
Nothing blinky blinky
Monochromatic background
Picture only if you can't without it.

Good luck and don't rush. This is not a bargain - who first...

  • Love

    I love the passion which rides melted
    confusion's subtle spiritual sighs -
    and your eyes dilate into shapes of warmth...
