A love in verse

By definition saints cannot be married

A saint without you? I’d rather be buried

So let’s have love with no holy restraints


We’re human and we love as humans do

Coming together sometimes gives off sparks

And in the light we see how passions arc

From bright to storm and back our whole life through.


The storms are few and frankly give a sauce

To love and living it without remorse.
