I don’t want to get married
Just because I feel like it’s the time
I don’t want to get married
Just because people tell me I need to
I don’t want to get married
Just because I’m in my 30s and still single
I don’t want to get married
Just because I’ve been dating him for years
I don’t want to get married
When it’s my brain that speaks, not my heart

I want to get married
when I finally meet the one
The one who can make me fall so deep
The one who gives the love that consumes me
The one whom I can’t imagine to live without
The one who makes me think
That I want to get married
Because it is him

That’s how much of a hopeless romantic I am

When she first met him,
He was so slim;
A gentleman,
To begin.
When she first met him.

When he first met her,
She was so demure;
She'd defer,
Often concur.
When he first met her.

She'd smile on him.
He'd open doors.
She cooked and worked.
He worked and cooked.

Good morning, my Dear.
Good night, my Love.
I got groceries.
Did you get milk?
I called your Mother.
Is your Father okay?
Teacher interviews at five.
I'll drive.
Did you get to the bank?
I made an appointment.
What's the address?
Your sister's on her way
.

This was their dialogue
On that day.

She's kind.
He's a find.
He's hers.
She's his.

Ever the twain shall meet.

Step into the moment
with bated breath,
There will come
the beguilement
and whispered shadows at play,
they seem to congeal around
conflagration of wills
and spirits considered outré.

And if it should rain
within these walls,
we'll advance south and sneak
under cover.
Fingers will find,
lips will linger and remind.
It will be a slow
recovery this time.

The places we travel go beyond
the arms reach,
they war for supremacy,
they alter and spasm,
they're random, but hover
between us in unity.

This dance we make
is an intimate ballet,
this push and pull
a blissful menagerie,
a wrinkle in time
we call ecstasy.
In kisses christened as luminaries,
appointing our own ceiling
— a mural painted in the keen
colors of craving.

The years of such sweet communion
have built this shelter, this nest,
and here together we rest.
And we are no less surrendering
to them than straddling the heavens
— the gauze of time,
timber and tranquility enmeshed,
and wishing it never ends.

Bereft of love all my life,
Thought I would not need any.
Still, you entered my life,
And now I need you as my wife.
Proposals, you can get many,
Yet you say you will be my wife.
You scuttled my ship.

Sin
Celestial Luna has arisen
What gorgeous form
The moon glistening verbrate with flesh-ed skin
So pure and unctious
What divinity of form
Angelic pillars aspire to hold Assyrian Sin
And what form so perch
The arch of the back
Traces its way to behold such grace
As pure bells Céleste entreat
And atop the place
Reigns perfect of form
The gaze of Cephalium
If this young femme be without ring
Or tether honour bound
Let her now come to me
And let real love resound
Oh the female form...  What can I say?

I would be happy to sit by you
for the rest of my natural life.
I never felt like a woman much,
but I'd be proud to be your wife.

Oh, lover, how do you stand me?
You say, "Oh, lover, how do you stand me?"
Dear darling, that I should be so lucky.
No gold is worth a second of your time.

I paid no heed to a marriage oath
when I was only a child.
Loving you isn't a set of laws;
To love you is to run wild.

Oh, lover, won't you unhand me?
You say, "Oh, lover, won't you unhand me?"
No, darling, not while my feet are standing.
No gold is worth the way that you are mine.

I am no master of rhyme or verse.
I'd make no beautiful bride.
But if there is truth in this universe,
I'm meant to stay at your side.

"Oh, lover, do you demand me?"
You say, "Oh, lover, do you demand me?"
Yes, darling, if I am to be happy.
No gold is worth the sweetness of your smile.

-Love triangle

There once were a pair of inseparable soulmates who couldnt get enough of each other,
Luna Thapa was a woman of ethereal beauty, while timid Johnson had a stutter

They met when they crossed paths for the very first time when they were both lost at their local train station,
And exchanged joyful laughter when they both found out they were heading to the exact destination.

Shortly after, Johnson married Luna Thapa, and they established a family together.
And every night in their bed whilst their babies were sound asleep, they had all kinds of ***** pleasure.

Life couldnt have been better for them till Lunas black sheep of a sister, came into the picture,
She was just released from prison after spending countless years for being a convicted killer.

Dove Thapa was her maiden name and unlike her sister Luna Thapa, she was always bitter.
She coveted Lunas successful and blessed life, to the extent that she planned to ****** her.

So one dark and rainy day, Dove in secret, brought two magical potions from a witch named Garland,
One was poison for her sister, and the other was a potion of love for her sisters husband.

That night, Dove slipped the lethal dose of poison straight into her sisters cocktail by the kitchen sink,
Then at family dinner, she handed unsuspecting and innocent Luna, the poisoned drink!

Luna perished instantly from the poison, unaware her sister was the cause of her demise!
Even in death, the poison's effects lingered, inducing spasms and altering the hue of her eyes!

Following Luna's passing, Dove then used her cunning to convince Johnson to cremate her quickly,
Because she knew that if the husband allowed for an autopsy, she would get the death penalty.

Before long, Johnson wed a new woman who only won his love with a magic potion of love,
For she was both barren of beauty and virtue which her sister both had. Guess her name? Thats right, Dove!

Envy is a destructive and contagious disease which compels the host to inflict pain and strife,
And like a predator, they only hunt the trusting person who always ends up losing their life.
