Memoirs of a One Night Stand

Your name I know not, nor from whence you came,

But I know my life definitely has changed,

you came into my life as quietly as the first autumnal fallen leaf,

I wish that your stay with me had not been so brief,

what we had was beyond mere words, beauty quintessential,

before you came into my life, of love I d had my full,

You were my ray of sunshine, my clouds silver lining,

Your love was all encompassing, never at all confining,

Pretty young maiden, of radiant beauty,

I ardently thank the one above for bringing you to me,

To see your fair mahogany skin, your lips of polished garnet,

A man more blessed than me, I have not met as of yet,

The heavens have truly opened up and sent you down to walk the earth,

I know without a doubt that you re not of mortal birth,

Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Aphrodite, none compare to you,

Your eyes are earthen brown, not green, hazel, or blue,

When I would look into them I could see deep into your soul,

I could see what made you work, see what made you whole,

I cannot imagine living my life without you, without your precious love,

Keep with you my memory, because its you I m thinking of,

I wish that we had had more time, more time to get to know each other,

Time in which I could have become much, much more than just your lover,

Heaven is what I think of when I think of you, lady,

Thinking thoughts of how it would be if I could father your baby,

To be able to call you my wife, to come home and see your face,

To know when I sleep at night it s your hand that are around my waist,

Bliss would definitely be ours, forever and a day,

I ve emptied out my heart before you, I ve nothing else to say.
