He tore the heart from a sonnet,
replaced it with a ring,
and won me with his steady love
(Shakespeare
and a shiny thing).

What they said. Yup. You are a Wizard of Words! The rhythm of this piece is especially wonderful.
Who needs more?
No one writes poetry more concisely than you do, MZ, and no one does brevity better.
Wish right now I was Shakespeare, such loving words I don't often hear.

Sometimes, simply, less is more.
Succinct; startlingly new while feeling just right; creating a picture with effortless ease, and a whole story with masterly economy – as usual. :)
Isn't that part of theme song from a James Bond movie?
