TOAST TO THE ALTER

TOAST TO THE ALTER

MAN:

You are the reason that I live the oxygen in my lungs

Let me be the letters needed for the right poetic remarks

You are the principle that solves my complicated arithmetic

One hundred beats per minute, rhythm in my heart my heart beat

Ahwenepa nkasa: Beauty of silence though 250plus stringed waist beads

Up down to fro I have been but you the only one that I seek

When compasses are broken down on the deep seas, lost; that is how one will feel without love but when your love encompasses you appear as a flickering sign of hope, my lighthouse

Clean and with a pure heart spotless the white house that will be the official abode of my complete self…

WOMAN:

Of course this act is mutual my president my heart shall be your official residence,

Intricately designed with complexity where there is difficulty in the ability to form images and ideas in the mind; scrimmages, especially of things never seen or experienced directly.

I am a coded language bar lines; ordained long before time my Mourinho the special one my only decoder; so flip, click, have free access into my hidden channels.

My heart is like the Cinderella shoe not everyone can fit but you.

Oxygen in my breath

Iron in my legs, carry me to where I deserve

Your whole self is gold how else can I describe your worth.

I dare anyone to take this action

Get on the periodic table and this trinity can’t be broken down by any chemical reaction

The 70% of my total body mass two part hydrogen one part oxygen and you know how to best quench my thirst, “il meglio”; you the best…

MAN:

I will cleave to you till the end of age, like breasts stay together in the bra of love even though separated by cleavage,

The ink of my pen destined to bleed in the clean page of your private papyrus so legally let me emboss my emblem; colophon…

My sunshine; my light energy trapped in chlorophyll, you complete my photosynthesis

Panorama, flashes, the photo-grid of your persona, speaks better; photo-sentences.

Mutual protection I prefer you an angel to being a police, because I don’t want my cardiac arrested; I am not ready to be laid to rest yet…

Why die when one can live for love especially’ when the ultimate has been done by Yashua on the cross for all of us.

The reason I think it’s an error to speak of Eros and point to cupid and his arrows.

 I prefer you a thief to steal my heart; klepto, we both know it’s all yours though, steal mine let me steal yours, the beauty of theft only in this scenario.

The reason I love you is because there is no reason.
