An
overnight epistle
woke me up today
Airmail delivered through a blue sky
Sender must be that
girl from Green Bay
For whom I would fight,
conquer and die.
|
The word
is, she has blossomed since lent
All due to him with ocean-blue eyes
Gone are the nights she used to resent.
He is unequalled, above all other guys
|
She is
equal to a
pretty day at spring
Sweet as honey, pure as milk
In my diet, she is
my favorite thing
A butterfly she is with wings of silk. |
If I was
sent to prison
for peddling flowers
Still, I
would knock at her door,
Desperately
awaiting there for hours,
Bewailing
with peeled
petals on the floor
|
I
would tie out of roses a bonnet,
There, until the dawn, I might
Slumber,
humming my own sonnet
Late, much later in the night
|
