" Cherie's Prayer "

Dare I, profess my love for her in moonlight
Or on the wings, of her glances
In my direction
She knows, I'm in love with her
But what I haven't
Confessed
To her
Is just how much, she moves me
Down deep inside
Where my love for her
Is a shining pearl, of holy light....

The kind of Love, that topples dynasty's
So powerful that it hurts
To be apart
To be afraid, I'm not good enough
For her to bathe me
In her wisdom, and her light
I am so afraid
Of the pearls need
To touch the face
Of losing her....

And so I pray, this Holy Love
Does not, disintegrate
But instead
Becomes the greatest
Love affair
In all
Of recorded days.......

for her------ ( my answer )
