and sublime cardiovascular stress.
Who knew veins might endure such joy?
And subsequently in the Chevrolet
we courted jubilant evenings away
where we would, like molten metal...alloy
In Aphrodite's late summer heat
and throughout all the seasons of a year
where only nexus love would domineer
to weld our honeymoon seam complete,
whereby, as if by some Hephaestus flame...
she took all the letters from my last name!

That was phenomenal.
Your poetry is so beautiful, witty, written like classical poetry. I'm hooked!
