In love, we dare hope.

Archaic love bound in flesh,

Beseeches in youthful desire,

Clamorous, fumbling oafish ways,

Dreaming in golden lit fire.

.

Enamored with passion- I make my plea,

Fueling a sodden lost match,

Genuine but broken my heart doth decree!

Heaven-sent, my angel dispatched.

.

Invigored in truth, I'll cry to the sky,

Jeweled creation, astounding in form,

Knowing not how to breathe in this world,

Limp rotting heart you did transform.

.

Mighty and swift, a companion brought low,

Neither pliant nor flexing- I submit.

Occasion begets a longing in lust,

Perhaps it is you I can’t quit.

.

Quacking and trembling in forceful stance,

Regardless of blistering heat,

Say it to you, my love I will cherish

To death do us part, I entreat.

.

Ubiquitous craving drowning in ardor,

Veracious soul chambered within,

Will you answer my call if I scream my intentions?

Xena, please- won’t you please- let me in?

.

Yes- the word, let it fall from sweet lips, in waiting and wanting in hope,

Zealous and fruitful our lives will unfurl- If you would but concede to elope.
