the gown, ring and book

In these moments

Wrapped up in a quest

I must not fail

With bone and blood

To form blood then bone

Smiles like infections

Will pull me along

My stern look

On a worn apparel

Designed to fit even in style

In these moments I recall

Merry not sad did I record

Warm thoughts expressed

By those carved calabash before her chin

Pleasing and possessing to behold

In there, he will swear

In front of all

But will run

Forgetting all

The gown, the ring and book

Think no more

When around you are

And you’ve seen her

There is no way out

Endure if you can’t enjoy to the end
