Sonnet For Eve (Unwed Reflections) Poem by Michael King

He prays this love for Vesper not to fold,
that she and he will stay until the morn,
while echoes crack, and years grow wicked old,
and they two weave a century unborn.

Continue silhouette instructions curse,
for who are they to borrow unlearned time,
when love between two stones remains adverse,
and passionless twin lovers are a crime.

So separate these feelings known to man,
and follow suit with loving cause it's good.
Just take her in your arms, because you can,
and make of your two heartbeats a great flood.

and then they two will long traverse the stars,
while music plays, rings out in soft guitars.
