White Horse II: In Bloom

The second in the three part saga.

Now you may ask what happened to these two

Sit down and listen, I have an amazing story for you

I left you wondering with love’s first kiss

Could you believe these two will soon share wedded bliss?

Some might say, problems on the horizon, may loom

In fact their love is only beginning to bloom

As flowers sprout from the soil
Again the boy’s blood begins to boil

 

His betrothed has news of grandeur

Of the life growing in side her

I can’t believe it, shouted the boy

My heart is filled with joy

He exclaimed, as the two embraced

Again the boy’s heart raced

As his beloved shared more news

That in this case, good things come in twos

 

He wondered how she knew

As her abdomen grew

That inside her there were two

She swore it was all true

He trusted her with all his heart

Just as she had at the very start

With every breath he loved her more

Despite those pesky late night visits to the store

 

Still he questioned with fervent superstition

She said, silly fool, it’s a woman’s intuition

Well my dear, he said, I have no fear

Once you give birth all shall be clear

My love for you is boundless

I’ve felt it ever since that first kiss

Soon we shall be married, I cannot wait

My heart beats solely for that date

 

For on that day, our souls will unite

Together, through this world we shall fight

Intertwined as when we first danced

For this moment will leave us eternally enhanced

Our time in this world is short my dear

But I have no fear

For there is always time in our afterlife

Free of pain, devoid of strife

 

We can spend eternity together in paradise

I hope that shall suffice

Why yes, she whispered, it shall indeed, my love

I cannot wait for our time up above

But we must focus on what’s down here

For in a few months, the babies shall appear

You are to be both a father and husband

Though, she giggled, that’s obvious as I still expand

 

All that I ask, is that you remain true

To those words I had once said to you

He smiled, why of course, my sweet darling

You make my heart sing

Every morning, like the birds

Frankly, it’s difficult to put this in words

My dear, all I ever wanted to do

Was be in love with you

 

But how does one describe something so deep

Like how beautiful you are when you sleep

Or how your hair blows softly in the breeze

When we used to walk beneath the trees

I can’t help but take in your beauty

So radiant, so pure, it consumes me

It’s far deeper than just the skin

For yours is a beauty that comes from within

 

I am forever yours, this I hope you remember

When, in our love, we fall into the depths of December

And icicles form on our roof

I can only hope we do not end up aloof

But as I’ve said many times before

Our love is so much more

Than the ordinary romance
For on me you took an extraordinary chance

 

Though we may grow grey old

Our hearts hold something worth far more than gold

It’s a treasure I’ve always held dear

Since we discovered it here

Buried beneath the ground

Just yearning to be found

For I have a beautiful song within my heart

For in love, my sweet, we have perfected the art
