The Moon's Reflection of the Sun (Sonnet Poem)

Lovers’ names carved in a Greenville oak tree

First, a promise ring when he left.

Then, a proposal with his uncle’s ring

Finally, an official butterfly birthstone ring

Persian restaurant, sweet peach tea,

Honeymoon carriage ride, a love so true

Open mic trips, poems, and music

Attraction, Jillian’s Bar parties,’ dirty dances

No slip up to the lips, oily back massages

Chances taken.

June in the city

Flirtatious eyes meet her smile.

Trip to Korea canceled

Love in the wedding aisle

Prayers and hopeful conversations in length

Pushed through obstacles with strength.
