A Comedy of Couplets
Calm this warm place upon your breast,
where my weary head has come to rest.
Serene now in these loving arms, content
and happy for the peaceful times I’ve spent.
Joyously entwined are we and bound
by no law nor timeless reason found.
Delighted by your ageless, calming way,
in you I know the one with whom I’ll stay.
In time will pass the darling buds of May,
but, from you, my heart will never stray.
Someday we’ll go where angels still abound
and there we’ll hear the bells’ eternal sound,
tolling by the hour the mortal clay’s lament
while eulogizing our lifelong love’s intent.
Contented to lay my head upon your chest
to feel it’s beating, until we’ve come to rest.
