“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may” And while that may be compelling to some I would rather wait several years worth of days Than go to bed with just anyone Because my convictions transcend my flesh As my unknown beloved now treads So I can bear prolonged loneliness While I lie in my twin sized bed *** is much deeper than skin grazing skin It’s the beauty of souls intertwined Mr. Herrick, your message, received by most men Makes broken people, hollow and blind At risk of dying with innocence in tact I will reject your assertion that virgins must act

A Poem For Eager Mr. Herrick
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may” And while that may be compelling to some I would rather wait several years worth of days Than go to bed with just anyone Because my convictions transcend my flesh As my unknown beloved now treads So I can bear prolonged loneliness While I lie in my twin sized bed *** is much deeper than skin grazing skin It’s the beauty of souls intertwined Mr. Herrick, your message, received by most men Makes broken people, hollow and blind At risk of dying with innocence in tact I will reject your assertion that virgins must act
