Erotes Gerund

erotes might allow her to speak of you as her husband
might you meet the requirements of her conditions.
to become her husband she wishes these seven things.
then upon receiving these things she shall light
seven different candles
symbolizing each day.
he too wishes things from her,
 that she might gain an understanding of him
he buys seven cigars, one for everyday of the week.
she has been purchased for the purpose of breeding
and the facts of a contract shall allow those
to speak her as married
such to be said of him.
this social event, might be the start of their times of intimacy
to create or not create.
might this united means of coupling affirm her desire
to keep him moral and decent.
the social union, a collaboration of
people who wish best for the two involved.
she wishes him to remain descent and moral
the ethics of being together to have person with one another
