Downward a brink strewn with craggy rubble, I, confounded by impervious haze, Despair the convoluted path and stumble. Slick, sable stones reduce me to my knees. The glorious Pilgrimage beckons me: “Rise and seek out yonder city of gold, descend ye from thy safe promontory And subject thyself to dangers untold.” On bended knee, head bowed, I pray and plead For provision and eased yoke -and trudged on. Abandon all hope, and many concede, At the wicket gate, where I near anon. Tenant of celestial city now. With robust garden, I reflect my plow

The Pilgrimage
Her eyes flutter soon as they sense someone encroaching Her nose in fear of uncertainty starts running Like a Dear in sight of a predator approaching As her hanky is sent up her nose cleaning I get a closer look at her beautiful ******* Their sudden rise like a volcanic plug Or cunning waves in an Ocean with gigantic crests But soon as I’m close enough all she gets is a hug Then I place my head on hers close enough to her lips Which tremble probably in fear of the belief all speech is lies While all through a burning urge to kiss her hard at me nips Seeing tears of doubt gather clouding the skies of her eyes Her heart beats too violent for someone of her age Seems she’s grown to believe for love,pain’s her only wage
