Poezja

Autumn in Niagara Falls, spring in Rome,
Hawaii, Amsterdam, Portugal, France -
Yet more romantic still our happy home
Should you consent to dance this spirit-dance.
What argument persuades like tender tears?
What logic can my deep affection prove?
If Heather lends them grace, my earthly years
Will blessed be, by lithesomemost true love.
I see you as a delicate bouquet -
A garden where the lily petals fall.
Eschew the solemn spinster soubriquet
And de rigueur funereal banquet shawl.
But maybe I have overgauged my worth
And must abide in hopes beyond this earth.
