Honeymoon

I awaken to open my eyes to a new day,
The way a day begins with a new dawn,
My first steps into my new love sashay,
Am happy like a child seen a birthday clown

I smile at the image staring from the mirror,
My reflection, the face of radiance and gaiety,
Last night’s imagery in mind still ripe and clear,
The girl of my dreams is my thoughts’ modesty

I’ve buried my long past and painful pleasure,
The love and loves that left me broken hearts,
Till I met an angel; a gift better than a treasure,
She now owns my heart and she loves my arts

She caused me tears, pain beyond measure,
For two bitter years, I was in a love vacuum,
Lovelorn among peers, in a lonely love seizure,
A bleak love life was all my future could assume

Oh lovely Damaris, what went awfully wrong?
Oh gorgeous Ruthie, dint you and I belong together?
Oh precious Faith, dint I sing you a love song?
All relationships gone sour, will I be alone forever?

I wooed her with the specialness of a first kiss,
And treated her with respect accorded to a queen,
I dazzled her with stories showing what love is,
And blissfully, she showed me love I’ve never seen

Saw her first under the stars on my birthday night,
And I thanked nature for giving me the gift of sight,
With a prayer, I appreciated God’s creative present,
An angel in my presence, I knew she was heaven sent

Into her eyes was the vision of what love looks like,
A calm, sincere, serene and lovely special glance,
Her image was so picturesque, it aroused my psyche,
To this day, am grateful that she gave me a chance

She smiled with the charm of a ladies’ first date rose,
And I beamed back with a sincere grin of amusement,
She fed me my cake bite and wiped cream of my nose,
All that seemed like a fairy’s dream under the crescent

Oh last night is unforgettable; so bizarre, so fantastic,
Like winning a jackpot with a million other players,
The picturesque of a couple’s picture wed and iconic,
A rain of rose petals breaking scenery for viewers
