Rhymes With Bliss

happiness
i have spent this life
with mermaids and maidens
the most beautiful of women
who made words like sweet perfume

flying above me are valkryes and fairies
long looking for my soul
and how they could bless me

lovers and mistresses made of the earth
built in human weaknesses from birth
they answer my calls with words
of worth, pecancy and flirts

also in my kingdom are queens
and princesses
perched on high mountains
and lifted heavenly
men with pen's exalt their beauty
because it is their solemn duty
to worship each other in this way

some search for saddness 
and saddness they deliver
some search for gladness and 
it too is in the quiver

some are sinners
some are saints
some from out of musty 
books they paint
emotions or some worthy cause

matrons and the mothers
who could only live
by the graces
only a mother could give

i've laughed with these women
and cried on their shoulders
enough time has passed that
they've made me grow older
daughters and sisters my next of kin
i shared with you my secrets
my poetry with in
and sang my songs
of juvenilia

and angels that brought
lucidity and luciferous
to dark caverns of
inhumanity
gratis for the guilty
words describing filthy
from those who
writhe in pain


cowgirls and tomboys
you know who you are
with words of encouragement
you made me a star

and to add to the list
one vixen and one witch
one who's been deleted
and the other 
i don't know which

but they all make out the 
women i love on the soup
they turned out to be 
a tight little group

i think i've added all to my list
especially a woman 
who's name rhymes with bliss

so here's to you all
i give you this
a great big hug 
and great big kiss
