"Decreed"


Prithee kind sir, doth thee love thy lady?
More than breath itself, e'en my last
Make sweet some vial of beauty's treasure
Soul's Paradise lives in my love's being
Her heart courses blood thru these veins.
Poetic harmonies unheard her ears visualise
Strange sounding symphonies
'Twixt love's requisite requiem~
She plucks notes whence loins marry
To compose most heartfelt music.
Surrendering raw emotion as mine tears
Evoke the most intimate of sharing.
 
Boiling water steeps green tea
Fragile japanese tea cup~
Whose rim no lips had grazed,
In touching heavenly lips still slumbering
Rendered submission to mine love for life
Prostrating, we viewed our old age
As old age witnessed our prostrations.
A lifetime of quietly sipping tea together,
Just being~
Swallowing each other's nuance.
Misinterpreted fabric creates her perfection
A cloak daily borne ne'er exchanged for hers.
Intuitive love has always known just how to drape
Her eccentric nature around this mysterious man.

You ask do I love my lady?
Ours is a union before time~
Which has transcended 1,000 lifetimes
No other see I once my eyes' scoped
Destined to side by side live and breathe,
A solitary pair to walk for yet another short lifetime.
And whence time to draw breath final,
Her eyes escort me on my most divine journey
Her sensual voice the last I hear as I lie dying
Ne'er to leave but to prepare our next sacrosanctity.
Awaiting the arrival of my life's true love.
