’Tis the shard of glass you wield That will slice into my dignity Cutting me where flesh does not yield Whenever you have the opportunity I may have wronged you in the past But sir, it was not intentional Onerous aspersions I did not cast Although my actions unconventional I provided you with an inch of suggestion And you expropriated a mile of my generosity A proposal in the form of a rhetorical question Does not qualify you for any reciprocity
I say I love you, you say you love me more We do not agree, and so we argue until evermore
Remember that magical evening We were guided to the elephants and fed them sugar cane Walking in mystery and through the darkness in anticipation Our curiosity did not wane
We followed our guide to the clearing as the fantasy continued and we feasted on epicurean delights Music played teasing our emotions Sights and sounds touching every sense It was a most seductive night
They brought us lanterns to release into the sky each one carrying a desire A wish and hope for good things to come As they soared higher and higher
