My Declaration

3rd in the 'Calling All Poets 2007' competition

Shall I compare thee to a tempest storm?
Thou art more passionate abed fervent
Not constrained to conform
To animosity or reverent
Adoration knows no limitation
Time is the enemy of the aged
Love anounds classification
In my infatuation I am enslaved
Shadows stalk across my face
Wilting blossom ready to descend
Migrant hearts to deface
Stay close my cherished friend
Trembling breaths and the way I feel
My declaration I reveal.
