LOVES LAMP (poem)

The two poems below were written when i were watching a movie on television with a wedding scene, seperate movies, years apart. (smiles)

WHEN SHE SAID; "Yes"

When she said yes, did she really mean, "yes?"

Or, was her heart, simply gasping for breath?

Did she once, open her eyes to gaze in haste,
nay, she savoured every moment,
drinking loves sweet kiss
on the lips of her groom.

When she said; "yes"
did she really mean, "yes?"
Oh yes!
Oh yes!

LOVE'S LAMP

Will he still love me,
when the pretty innocence and virginal desires
of one so young

Fade,

replacing all such,
for the burning passionsof womanhood?
(a small sacrifice);

for the greatest gift
(of true beauty),
as rare as love itself,
the Maturity?
Will he turn from me one day,
and sail in troubled waters,
longing for the sweet innocence?

Promising to forsake all others;
will his eyes roam,
his thoughts wander,
and find the innocence in another;
who's maturing beauties,
are of only that;she does not know him?

will he see that,
and be mine, forever?

I will take the chance!
