Nothing can hold back the tide
Nor lasso the circling moon
Keeping the sun from morning
Or stopping the spring cocoons
I can add to this my soul
Your smile melting my heart
The depth of your sparkling eyes
Opening my sight from the start
All that I have to give you
Is that my fondness is forever
And that you’ll be protected
As my eternal treasure

In honor of upcoming Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d ask something a bit more, shall we say, sensual of our Trifectans. Your task this week, should you choose to accept it, is to write a love scene in no fewer than 33 and no more than 333 words.
