Cold Feet

We stood together eyes staring at each other The numerous windows of sight staring back scared me My prince seems far away from me I feel the ground open and I got swallowed Is he saying no? I looked at the preacher, how long will it take to say I do He talks about forever and hints at eternity My heart sank I have been trapped I saw fair ladies in skimpy skirts Bare chested girls dancing and shaking their butts I looked at fine young men giving me a smirk My head swells Is this it, no more freedom This can't be happening Can I change my mind Time ticked and stopped at the same time Then my lips went wet Beautiful eyes hovering over me Hands like comfort drawing me close Smiles like peace spreading on my lips Joy like a river flowing through my soul Then I knew this is it All the fears were not worth it My prince is now my King And I the loving queen Legs swept of the floor I plunged into a dreamland I got drilled yet not destroyed A wave of passion swept over me Time seems to stop I seem to float Tears begin to roll with loud shout of joy Then I landed and felt his flesh
