Sonnet 6

What fear resides the touching of our lips
To wed as mouth to mouth passionate lovers
Of little faith in sunken battleships
Would thou rather live free with dying brothers
      The choice to wear a ring the knee may bend
      Fiance' to another heart and drum
      Could change thy face that peace and joy would mend
      Into a mask with looks of gloom and glum
If time would turn and travel in the past
A rose would greet you every morning hour
And every nights collection would be vast
In hopes thy thoughts of marriage not be sour

Convince thy feet to freely jump the broom
And let our lips be one as bride and groom
