BRIDAL DESIRE

 

Do you want your future bride?

To be chaste and never caught

Should she be pure in thought and deed?

With never a single immoral thought

 

Abstaining from sex on moral grounds

And any kind of lustful devilment?

Not a very realistic expectation

Unless she’s been living in a convent

 

It’s not what I would look for in a bride

I would want my wife to be sexually faithful

When the vows were said, I wouldn’t want

Her to indulge in anything extra marital

 

But on the day, I would like her to appear angelic

With the look of innocence upon her face

As she stands at the alter dressed in virgin white

While encased beneath in black silk and lace

LOVE AMONGST THE STARS

 

When you give your heart to another

You bathe in the warmth of the sun

You walk tall upon the earth

Tall enough to touch the stars

You make love beneath the moon

And Venus guides your path

As you navigate the Milky Way

But when you are cast aside

You crash back down to earth

And inhabit planet Solitude

I RESOLVED TO GROW OLD WITH YOU

 

On the first day we met

I gave to you my heart

I gave to you my soul

I gave to you my love

And I resolved to grow old with you

 

You have been my beacon

My guiding light

You have been my friend

The love of my life

And I resolved to grow old with you

 

Now is the saddest time

Now my heart breaks

Now my soul cries

Now my love hurts

I so wanted to grow old with you

 

Now after we have parted

Your heart beats in another chest

Your soul abides above

Your love is eternal

And I must grow old alone

WHEN WILL THE LIGHTNING STRIKE?

 

When will the lightning strike?

When will the thunder roar?

When will that moment come?

When love knocks at my door

 

When will the drum beat out?

When will love’s music play?

When will that moment come?

When love finally looks my way

IN AN INSTANT

 

One brief moment changed my life

When the love that emanated from you

Captured my heart in that instant

And in the clarity of that moment, I knew

My destiny had been forever shaped

And my life would ever after be with you

INTERNMENT

Your beauty caught my eye

And captured my attention

Your personality won my heart

And placed it in detention 

ISABEL

 

A vision of pulchritude

My sweet little Isabel

Coquettish in the extreme

A beautiful southern belle

Lithe limbed and gracile

She is hopelessly vivacious

With her sylph like elegance

She tends to the outrageous

But for all her dalliances

And her overt vivacity

Her revelling in the attention

She is still in love with me
