that imitate the life of loving, with drunken words of whispered nothings
leapt from lips in heats of emotion, that gather, build and cause commotion
in a moments span of time, where empty souls plunder to find
some one's touch to ease and release, the value of the seamless crease
pressed into their mortal skin, where they were held and trapped within
the sunken vessel of a reflection, meant to breed an insurrection
in the lives that craved a real, source of living that could heal
the wounds of loss; the woes of distress, and cast out loathing's loneliness.
Step they forward partake the cup, from where the two have came to sup
and greet the newness of a world, where they themselves found unfurled
in the time of fleeting fancies, welcomed they the patient waking
visions, words, and the regards, gathered from the mocking shards
placed before them to behold, the rising measures of their souls
where once they had no one to fill, the hunger they had sought to quale
look, behold their visions' quest, where oft they found their search beset
laid before them now to learn, the others' needs and due concerns
in the living life of love, they both believe they're worthy of
see them there upon the threshold, where they both wait to go
into knowing the others truth, unafraid to change and choose
their desires and fascinations for a greater occupation
in their days together now, brought together to surround
the other in their longings of, loving kindness's gentle touch
swaddled in the other's arms, seeking they the others' charms
to set free and escape, the separation of the places
that had left their life in shambles, with no one to depend on
through the days and nights of life, facing all their times of strife
now step they upon the page, by invitation of this sage
who saw them far and long ago, and wished for them their love to grow
beyond the words; beyond the dreams, of the flagrant mortal schemes
the miracle they sought to see, the love that could and would set free
both the lives of them to soar in the now and forever more
hear ye, hear ye, read with care, as my words their love prepare
set before you on this day as a witness to the way
one would find, and one would learn, friendship births love's return
