Since I Love Thee

In one soft kiss

I thy life borrow

And boldly bring us

Into tomorrow

In trust

In sorrow

Some silent sections

In fleeting form

But let us remain

Through every storm

Loving and plain

In requiem sane

 

In every furrow

Of founding flesh

We find ourselves

In safe hands smitten

Singing solemn songs

Of love that’s fair

To mislaid souls

Who fail to share

Life’s affaire

As one rare pair

For this composure

Once unveiled 

Must be captured

Kept and hailed

Like treasure scaled

 

For its unique statue

In the strong syllables

Of our amorous chapter

Is, in life, as always

The most enrapturing

Infatuation

Any creature

Willful and worth while

In romancing chance 

Can someday indulge in

 

We wind our winds

In every tending turn

To frame and form

A fending stern

And race along the scapes

Of warming dreams

As petals plane

through blossoms

Charmed disorder

We, too, bring wings of twill

And plant our place

In bundled embrace

With gumption and grace

Together, as always

Through celestial space

 

As blushing tips

Of telling cheeks unfold

We hold

Many immaculate pages

Yet untold

For then you will see

Forever after

All that’s gorgeous

Aims to flatter

Are dwellings of

A lovesome matter

 

Since I love thee

And our life to be

I will not wait

Another while

running rouge

Availing time

To squander

And beguile

Another second

In denial

 

For in one soft kiss

I thy life borrow

And boldly bring us

Into tomorrow

In trust

In sorrow

Some silent sections

In fleeting form

But let us remain

Through every storm

Loving and plain

In requiem sane
