Analysis of My billet-doux in a flagon : A Sonnet to My Paramour
My dearest paramour, my confidence in thy veracity is indubitable,
As thou doth traverse the Indian territories,
I implore that thy sojourn doth engender delight within thee,
Though our communion hath been obstructed by the bucolic telecommunication infrastructure.
I solicit that all is well and thou art replete,
For this a.m., I dispatched a billet-doux,
In a flagon equipped with GPS guidance,
Upon the currents, it doth flow to reach thee with celerity.
Upon the banks of Ganges in Varanasi,
I anticipate to encounter thee on the morrow's aurora,
With fervent heart and optimistic eyes, I shall anticipate,
For thy return, my love, my fate.
Though the remoteness may seem intimidating, my amorousness for thee,
Shall ever burn, a perennial melodic concordance.

About this poem
The orator avows their steadfast belief in their paramour's veracity and entreats for their felicity during their peregrination through India. They allude to the obstruction of intercourse owing to the agrarian telecommunication network and dispatch a missive in a receptacle equipped with GPS navigation to reach their paramour on the littoral of the Ganges in Varanasi. The orator eagerly awaits their paramour's reappearance and professes that their passion shall persist undiminished despite any remoteness that may appear intimidating. more »
