Triumph & Galumph Poem by John Sensele

To kisses stolen in the dark
When entwined enzymes enslave
Emotions in lotions and devotions that spark
Romantic earthquakes salute their nerve and verve bereft of reserve.

To disses that miss
The point and joint of tact
Engraved in Swiss
Etiquette effect a fact pact.

To faces heaved by pain in vain
Captured by the rapture
Inflicted by inconclusive conflicts in the rain
Say, 'Grow mature in future.'

To ladies whose hearts turned tragedies
Into triumph
Under conditions teeming with perfidies
Say, ‘Rise and galumph.'
