Thine Eyes of Emeralds Doth Beguile

Thine eyes of emeralds doth beguile,

Haunts my melancholy mind all the while,

I try to forget those glistening jewels,

None can resist their sparkling hues,

Emersing foolish lover’s hearts in fancy dreams,

Exciting souls to believe things as they seem,

Yet time and lovers always make bad friends,

Exacting might tolls without making mends,

Still I hope and linger on,

Of all the others, I am the one,

For though the other princes promise gifts of gold,

Everything I offer lies in my heart in loves untold,

My eyes glow for only you and you alone may see the shine

Each day I breathe is another day spent in heart and mind

Reaching out in the darkness for your heart,

And everyday will be spent til my breath part.

Lungs stay true! Let me live and prove my love,

Do this alone and then die and take me to the place above

So she may know my true heart’s desire,

Deeply rooted in raging, relentless fire,

Only quenched by a single tidal kiss of raspberry dew,

To this sweet oath I swear to be true,

Hindered not by man-made traps nor Fate’s fickle way,

But speeded on without end to live until I see that day.

Even now I hear the whispers of sweet nothings in mind,

Giving me hope; instilling strength, driving me to find

Uncountable ways to show my devotion and care.

I know this doting may seem like lies, I’d not dare.

Let this thought not stay, for I can’t lie to those eyes,

Emerald gems glistening and glowing in clever disguise.
