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... ----------------- Written 21/11/2012 S.
