I did but promise myself Never forget nor act flippant of the night, When you told me forever your heart will be the shelf For mice and chipmunks to have access denied, And forever the seal of love will knit it tight Where the urban lads though much tried Their fists and blow wouldn’t match the fight, Mine throws aside without bellows tied   For though horse and donkey racing In the misty dust of the shining moonlight And the donkey is used to tread With cargo when it’s not from grazing While the horse is fed in a noble stable For though equal in height Will the horse not faint?   I remember how love engulfed me   Like a young nymph on the spider’s web I would feel the throttling thrill   Of your imbuing touch with no ebb, Burning stares and flares of your scorching eyes Drilling into my warm fresh making it a motionless ice, For then we knew nothing about kissing If we did your lips could hail in jail For so swee...

I am forever ...
