I'll settle for a sonnet, if impassioned.  
Is there a point to any other kind?  
True love cannot be limited or rationed,  
a creature of the heart, not of the mind.  
Unbounded, unconstrained and all consuming,  
love cannot wait to taste you, to inhale  
the perfume of a field of poppies blooming,  
to search for words but ultimately fail,  
because, how could it not? As a mere mortal  
who's blessed with but a glimpse of the divine,  
I'm praying for a covenant, a portal,  
a sip of sacred, sacramental wine  
that cannot be discarded or dismissed.  
I lick my lips: remember how we kissed?
