Ecstatic Words

I long to see you, to infuse you with joy Speak bubbling words to soothe Your aching heart Hold you tightly in my loving arms Place lasting kisses on your very soft, Revered lips As an honest man does to a newly-found young woman Of whom his heart craves so much after For you’re exceptional today, Spectacular among the women of your clime You’re a wealthy Queen indeed You’re vivid in speech And would love to teach All young ones, and all people within your reach The precious traditions and values Of all great times and seasons Sweeter than cream and many a peach I long to re-echo as a voice that brings cheer To your sorrowing heart For a day like this, The sad news filtered down to you Of the sudden departure Of an excellent gem you so much treasured In your life I long to exchange pleasant hugs with you, As many gallant folks since the days of yore, Often keep a trustful guard on their tongue Who with uncommon and rare actions Portray their innermost feelings As they anxiously stay awake Through the dead of the nights And wait with great expectancy And with patience For a promising morning.
