Marriage of Two Minds

Behold us one, the marriage of two minds, Two creatures of cross-continental births, With force of love the universe combines, Find, in each other, home, a fount of mirth. Behold us cleaved, the union of true souls, Embraced, dancing hearts shield us from the night, In our arms we find shelter from the cold, Move them together, to produce great light. Behold united lovers, one, to share, The joys of empty hours, eternal days, Ebony skin to paler maple hair, Celestial beams shine out this pair to stay. In wooded boughs and outgrown meadows run, Lovers hand in hand, to bask in morning’s glow, With tinted blues, the ready rising sun, Lights up the roses, growing row by row. Like honey, poetry drips from their lips And prose milk flows, from their Lord’s promised land But no sweeter could that white liquor be, if There was no honey, free in lover’s hands. Already married in mind I see Married in body these two will be.
