The Heavens Assent
A poet’s soul dwells in my
heart
Composing the perfect rondeau
for this forbidden love
From the profundity of his hurt
I can hear the refrain: “The
Heavens assent.”
I HAVE found my
cornerstone
This to me was unbeknown
For I have held her in my arms
Through my darkest nights of life
Many say she can’t be mine
‘Cause she is covered up with
grime
But when polished she does
shine
None shine brighter than her
heart.
They fill my mind with worldly
thoughts
To seek for silhouettes of a
model
Ones you, forever, have to coddle
Blinds you from seeing her inner
light
“A perfect wife who can
find?
She’s far more precious than
jewels”
Face and skin you shouldn't mind
Even cheap make up can cover.
Seek for the purest in
heart
Since only God alters
the heart of a lover.
So, dear poet, write your poem
Show her she’s my heart’s desire
My lover is mine, and I am
hers
She will bear the kids I sire
Hurt no more, we are home
Cause she’s the one who trully
cares.
I will hold her hand to forever
after
Enjoy every breath and every
laughter
Smile and feel the warmth of the
sun
“The Heavens assent.” She is the one...
