Forever His
she wore the sonnet as clothes
and was naked to all that saw her
she spoke in perfect diction
and pranced around to have all
who wish her well to see her
those that longed for someone
unobtainable and spoken for
she told her lover she'd marry
his ensurcerities made him ask
upon hearing such words do I dare
think you as mine
"yes" she answered unashamed
"yes" you might think me as yours
the nights ahead shall be spent with you
might you wish me alone
might you convert the materials
to stitch them as they ought to be sewn
to allow the stones in your garden to be covered
and seeds sown
might the sun breath upon these sprouts
to have spring warn and dry
the moisture of the morning dew
to moisten the soils of time gone by
make ripen these fruits that
they shall nusrish my tired and overwhelmed soul
to night might I toast ye with wine
to allow a wanting world to know
might I sing in perfect voice
as you love me the night away
those who wish me their might hear us making love
and then they will say
she is totally his
and my labors are wrong and vain
no need to compromise or even speak
their no rules in this game
to make how they feel the way we love
to make script of what they have said
then to champion my hero as mine
by loving him in bed
