Love Poem: Entwined

Entwined

Soon we celebrate
a special day 
for hearts aflame 
with passion, 
whispering words of deep affection 
Into open hearts and waiting ears
in anticipation 
of returned sweet kisses,
in tender embraces. 
of getting lost again
in sensual pleasures. 
For love to flourish 
it must be returned;
If not, it will languish 
in tears, and sighs, 
and let go 
unrequited, 
leaving an emptiness
inside the soul. 
So, let us diligently seek 
those warmest moments 
When two become one flesh entwined 
and find happiness
and joy unspeakable
in unison.
