As the maid sits upon her crimson cloak


She watches and listens with fascination


She hears my song


And coquettishly speaks not


I speak of love


In a tone which she has not known


In a manner yet to be transcribed by poets


It’s hue is bluer than the clearest sky


A depth that is limitless


She asks why  do you persevere


My reply is simple yet direct


Love is not mysterious


It is overpowering


It is not to be denied


For it consumes you completely


Again I profess my love for and ask


And you?


Others waste what could be a life long opportunity


Their wants are only for the moment


She hears me say


If you want it come and get it


The maid rises


Comes to me


And stands by my side
