be still my avid thumping eagerness
let the muse calm the stir
your new presence in my life has
churned up
into a fathomless storm
carry me far with your carriage of thought
and rescue me from this drought of being
without you
I find that my own intangibles greatly need
your tangibles sir
to keep my mind in delicate regard of your
stylish personage
so until the future day's moon awakes
alloweth me to ask
is your regard of me wider than the sea's
taller than the sky
deeper than the heart of God
if so, then I wish you
a truth telling
most riveting happy day.............
