Betrothed



Spin your heart;

Sweet ember of mine;

To conquer me with love divine.

A sweet jewel of heaven;

We are deeply entwined;

Glowing of gold;

With the taste of sweet summer wine.

About this poem

I often enjoy what the 19th century Man wrote in the way of a love poem so I will write my own. Usually, they are somewhat flashy and filled with a large amount of emotion.
