FLIGHT - Blogtober 2020

Flight

My first time on an airplane that summer

Every fairy tale came to fruition

White wedding dress bright light beaming from her

First time in my life no inhibition

As we flew through the sky my past did die

Sweet anticipation of departure

In our sacred union all hope would lie

You were and remain my entire future

A blissful honeymoon on Grand Cayman

Ocean our refuge from noon's humid rain

Prettiest in all of God's creation 

Sex in the sea passions could not restrain

     Lovers entwined skinny-dipping at night

    As I fell into you my heart took fight

--Shenandoah Lynd

(a Shakespearean sonnet)
