When She Goes Away

A bright today, love came my way, and now we play in life’s array. We dance away in hope’s ballet, as love’s bouquet is here to stay. But then I say, I must delay; she might betray, a price to pay. Will love decay and my love stray, then go away to my dismay? Or will she stay till we are grey, and then death’s slay take her away? But either way I rue the day she goes away, and here I stay.

WoW! John, You did a wonderful job with this piece. Your rhymes and content are amazing. As far the " Rhyme" battle goes, I think you met the challenge my friend. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Thank you, Alexis, I'm glad you liked it. Monorhymes can sometimes be a bit boring. As far as the contest, my rhymes are not real creative but hopefully having three internal rhymes in each line will compensate. Thank you my friend. John
