Love And Oath Poem by Timothy Faboade

'Sweetest and best of all Brides,
Listen to my mouth and my vows
In my dreams, you by my sides
I blissfully have: like egrets and cows.

'My love-thirsty tongue your love
It's meant to all living ears to air
And my heart at yours stares.
A flawless love to find is tough.

'Like the beautiful, fresh morning
Springing from the very far Heaven
In my abode you'll have a haven
Void of any form of earthly mourning.

'Oh Lady, upon truth I make my
Vouch for you and only you
Behold the days gradually passing by,
Please, let all my dreams come through.

She broadly smiled and replied,
'All my life I intend to give you,
Upon you my heart has relied
And I love you to make it new.

'My beauty I cherish so much
From now till Heaven comes
And that alone I greatly clutch
It covers all my sums.

'A Heaven and its Throne I want
In my earth from the very man
Who shall be at my back and front
Left and right and with me stand.

'A common wife's dominated life
Never suits my special taste
A man I'll never and never strive
To please, not in my haste.'
