It seems a most naturalistic approach to life-juxtaposing religion with the rapturous nature of sexual intercourse. And quite brave! By the time the intensely enjoined couple gets to "a pact in prayer," the link could not be denied. Now, you must believe me when I say I like this one most. It has undertones that when fully understood, could be climatic in nature.

Appreciating your work

Oh, my, Donna, you certainly grabbed my attention with this unique and sensual rendition. I've been paired in union with the same partner for over sixty years, now, so I have a gut-like feeling for your closing phrase, "forever combined."

And in your posted picture, I'm almost sure I see my own image. Oh, well, okay, maybe I've changed a little since I struck such a pose.

A wonderful write, Donna. Now I know where to go when I want originality and class. Your site is much like a plump olive soaking in vintage gin. Did I mention how much I like plump olives?

With respect and admiration,
Richard

You surely have the gift which stands out in your poem depicting loves passion in words I could never find.

I'm not certain if I've read you before, but as your bio states, you know how to write. A gifted poet for sure, blessings, Holly

Fine capture of one of life's deep emotional moments.

Deep and intense and open to poetic interpretation. Two young lovers who cross the line of innocence into and pass the state of pure virginity that cannot be regained. Well written and enjoyable to read.
