This is interesting.
I usually am not attracted to long poems. I fall asleep halfway.
When I got to the line 'her summer dress riding high' I thought hello? a bit of spice could be coming up. (So read on Don....)
I did, and suddenly 'her dress was barely there'. (interest develops...)
What next I thought?... 'in one movement I was shirtless' ...(go Tom)
Then 'in another she was naked'
Then the climax 'as our bodies coalesced'
You needn't worry about not holding my attention in a long poem with spice like this peppered through it Tom.
Re the rhyming - to me it doesn't have to rhyme throughout. You have thrown in some for a bit of variety. i like that. As a rhymer meter is important to me. It has to flow and bounce along (even if not rhyme). You do this well.
I like your couples time/rhyme, sewn/stone, breaths/coalesced, side/spied, quickly/folly, grip/slip, thunder/armour, grows/close
Don't put yourself down. I like your peppered rhyming here.....

I enjoyed the entire poem, but there was one line that I fell for;
"There was lust upon our minds as a veil upon a bride." Reading that left me smiling.
Well done.

Hi, Adam,I really enjoyed your excellent comment on 'VE Day, 2020'. And I've considered it a lot. I finally think it was the 'sound element' that dictated the word order, the slight 'mmm' of both words beginning and ending the 'idea', almost like a bracket, kind of a 'thoughtful' sound. 'War'' is a difficult vocallization to start a line. But that order has more 'elegance', I absolutely agree. Not to mention correct grammar.

cheers Po - glad you liked it.
Yes - I think 'Bayonet' is probably one of my best - it works both as a poem and a song and the message is much bigger than the picture it seems to paint - I don't know if I've shared the song with you - apologies if I have - but here it is: https://soundcloud.com/the-man-at-the-back-1/the-bayonet-in-the-shed

I'm new to Wol and am slowly navigating through different bolggers works.
Came across it's raining today.
Life in parallel universe destined to drift apart. A sad experience many recognize and are powerless to change.
Enjoyed reading this well constructed emotionally charged poem.

Abdul, Mrs F is possibly a better poet than me. At least she knows how to rhyme! Yes, apparently we can see the stars - and indeed Venus, more clearly these days, Graham. Thanks.

The hardest style I think Greg, done nicely here!
Good to record one positive thing about lockdown. Only last night I stood looking at an incredibly bright Venus in the early evening sky, not really dark and wished I had a really powerful telescope to do it justice.

Hallelujah; John.
Let's hear it for humanity.
Keep beating the drums.
Let's hope that our rulers pretending to switch off their deaf aids to avoid the reality of these exceptional times will get the message.
Keep beating the drums of sanity.
Appropriate poem for current time.

This reminds me, Ray, of Monty Python's Great British Joke - or whatever it was called - which was shouted across to Germans on the front line. With similarly fatal results.

Give wings to your heart
Let it fly in horizons far
When time is right for you
Things will move and do
Wonders beyond imagination
Achieving tasks impossible
In most easy ways
It's just moving in that direction
It's just reaching that time
Everything has a preparation
Before the final show is done
It's not over until you give up
It's easy to give up and regret later
Its difficult to strive today but will give happiness forever

They have great work to do for us
Only if we look in the right places
