Eternal Passion Poem by Quame Boatmann

You are the one I’m to be with
Throughout my entire life
So as to accept me
Even after my corruption
And embrace me
Into Your caring bosom

But she snatched me from you
It’s so sad, for she had my permit
I did not know how intense
Your beauty was initially
And made me dishonest to you
She thwarted my conversations to you
For she wanted to own me forever

Now that I’ve been reunited to you
Through your passion for me
I’ll never leave you, and won’t accept
Your archenemy’s friendship anymore
For she taught me unlawful things
That made me uncouth and inane

I adore you and admire your ample beauty
That lies within you, in my heart
For it overwhelms me
And that’s why I’ll do your bidding
I’ll heed your gladius
And herald them across the world
To behold your beauty

Your name is a medicine to my ailment
So I’ll follow you wherever you go
For there’s something precious in you
A gorgeous brooding bird on its nest
