• I remember the first time I saw you,
    And your shining eyes of sapphire blue.
    The sun shinning from them, a blinding rave,
    As the rays reflection on ocean’s wave.
    Your cascading locks of amber brown,
    Laving dainty shoulders like a silken gown.
    Rosy cheeks so endearingly speckled,
    From love of each person freckled.
    Of prominent lips, pink as the sakura’s blossom.
    As if painted by angels to leave all others awesome.
    And as I watch you so majestically walk ,
    I see great pride e’en as we talk,
    Like noble eagle on lofty wing,
    A model queen for hopeful lowly king.
    A blazing smile that thou bestow,
    Upon all, without need to know.
    An unyielding spirit resides inside,
    So strong, that in sickness health further it may deride.
    And a heart the loves each love so truly,
    That each misfortune upon you seems unduly.

    I have loved afar, but now, at last,
    I am willing to fate, to let the die be cast.
    I approached with bold endeavor,
    Deciding it was now or never.
    I asked for your hand to hold in mine,
    So that together our love may brighter shine.
    Then, with sudden unshakable fear of unfavorable reply,
    I stood failing in nerve, but still determined to try.
    Then like a goddess of fortune, in tone matter-of-fact,
    You replied, “We seem to be two who mutually attract.”
    With that, my heart to glorious chorus unendingly rise,
    To new heights, upon lover’s wings it flies.
    And in eager ambitious youth,
    I delve deep with you to find loves deepest truth.




    At first we were timid, solely hand in hand.
    A simply gesture to nursel a love so grand.
    After three months, the time was undeniably right,
    For love’s first kiss, a testament to budding love’s might.
    And how sweet a sensation first experienced with you,
    Like sumptuous nectar of honeyed dew.
    Passionate, delightful and strong is lips meeting,
    To share luscious simple bliss for a moment so fleeting.
    And with that gentle consummation of love,
    No other women, to you, could rise above.

    Two years have passed since that first kiss,
    Two years that no chance we would miss.
    But now your time with me here, comes to a close,
    And not knowing what else to do, I offer a single red rose.
    It is time for you and I to follow our dreams,
    To part for insufferable eternity or so it seems,
    Yet I cannot bear to see you leave,
    So in the red bonds of our fated love I must believe.
    And with solemn determination, I ask that in love we remain,
    And once again your thoughts and mine are the same.

    Now leaving me with a thought, you turned to face a new day,
    And walked on to greatness, blazing your own way.
    Now, nearly a year later, I await patiently,
    Those words are my resplendency daily.
    Still with a taste like bittersweet rum,
    “Love’s sweet, and sweeter yet to come.”
