I do... <br />Take your hand from this dark abyss, <br />take me out of this emptiness, <br />keep me from a bloody mess, <br />black ribbons and black bow ties, <br />ghost eyes, <br />cold thighs, <br />honeymoon on our ancient tomb. <br /> <br />Lay my life on a death bed, <br />cremate me while we make smoky love, <br />like mushrooms pollinating the earth, <br />glass bands and wedding rings, <br />tear this flesh and with bloodied ink, <br />write our vows forever more. <br />' I do '.... <br />my darling! <br /> <br />I do want there to be a forever, <br />dark clouds or shiny sky, <br />full moon creeping in the afternoon. <br />Keep a dog at our front yard, <br />while it digs graves for visitors. <br /> <br />I do... <br />like a soldier in Vietnam war, <br />throw grenades and dodging bullets, <br />running with open wounds and fighting on, <br />trying hard to amber on. <br />what flames I carry, <br />my heart's a furnace... <br />red demon eyes. <br /> <br />I do... <br />under the witch's tree, <br />the tree that is my bed, <br />the twigs that are my beddings... <br />where often there is a sacrifice, <br />my soul the only price. <br />I do... <br />in this film, <br />photos frozen in daunting time, <br />collections of moments had. <br /> <br />I do... <br />as I make out from my dream, <br />as the morning shines on my queen, <br />soft skin on here silk sheet, <br />why I had a wondrous dream... <br />I do... <br />I do... <br />I still do...<br /><br />Merlin Mwaura<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-do-21/
