Ave-Maria

Concealed beneath the veil was a face of gold But to approach, not even cupid is so bold For the mere thought of it made me chilly cold But the passion deep in my chamber I could no longer hold So I clenched my teeth and decided to let my love unfold I didn’t know the woe awaiting was one untold For the veiled beauty till now I uphold So with a heart of steel, I took the dare Blinking all the while to break her holy stare Telling my heart for the great task ahead to prepare For not even the Virgin Mary my lust could spare So I let my lips roll as she glare “Blessed thee, beauty of the convent Thy heart has made with me a covenant And so should thy passion for me this instant If loving thee be a sin, then never is me repentant for this affection I build is immortally stagnant So please, descent of eve, hold my hand And tell me thy heart” She smiled immaculately and took my hand Then took a rosary and coiled it in my palm Making the sign of the cross and said slyly. . . . . “AVE MARIA”
