“Yes”, she said.
Braced fast, I stood.
My face did then bloom red
And I trembled ‘neath my hood.
Reeling free of constraint,
Rapt in shock, my mind
Searched for words valiant,
An ardent echo to find.
But shaking visibly o’ertook me
And nonchalance took flight.
My devoted flame took pity,
Her empathetic smile came to light.
“My love”, she whispered.
“My heart!” I urged.
Our hot blood blistered
As our fevered limbs merged.
The dark room spun around us
And moon-lit fairies showed their wings!
Our frenzied dance evinced no locus
In the celebration this night brings!
The vast distance of time I endured
Until this impetuous embrace befell
Has been unbearable and belabored;
All my hope had drained to Hell.
But all at once my life was liberated,
For tumbling down came her love!
I never believed I would feel this exhilarated,
Joined as one to her heart from above.
