Oh you were like a sister, Nursing at my mother’s breast; At times we had played twister, Then would kiss you when you rest. Nobody else would despise, Would lead you into my house; My mother making you wise, Knowing you would be my spouse. We would drink together wine, The juice from pomegranate; Eating grapes picked off the vine, Sweetest taste on the planet. Your left hand under my head, And right hand embraces me; Love between us quickly spread, Within your eyes I could see. I ask that you not stir up, Awaken love till it pleases; As we drank from the same cup, A comfort that appeases. Who comes from the wilderness, As I lean on my dearest; My mother saw togetherness, A love as the sincerest. We awakened under the tree, My mother was in labor; Bringing you forth I could see, Being lover and neighbor. Set me a seal in my heart, As a seal upon my arm; A strong love never depart, A flame to guard from all harm. Water cannot quench the love, Neither can the floods drown; As a blessing from above, With you in a wedding gown. If a man offered for love, All of the wealth of his house; He will be despised thereof, Others jealous of his spouse. Copyright ©2022 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
