By Design
Awake, my child. for you I have a plan.
Set your sights upon the Queenly one,
Promise yourself that maybe you can,
Rise from your sleepy crater; to her run.
Conviction underpins my heart of sin!
Faith in love is my hope to the end!
Blind and drunken trust, without the gin,
I'll implore as more than just a friend.
Lord alive, I've never felt such joy!
A bubbly lark, without analysis,
I dive into this endeavoring cloy,
I soar into heart-filled paralysis.
Yet what am I to do in the meanwhile?
"Yes" cannot withhold me for the week!
So I hesitate with forced smile,
Until seven, merely waiting, weak.
What ill-spoke flames beseech such searing tears?
I cry tonight, as Queenly "yes" backfired.
She backs away from our deal! Wretched fears!
One alone can douse my emotive fire:
Lord, I swear you seemed at rest today!
Wasn't "yes" what lifted me from death?
What must I do, God? How much I pray?
All I seem to seek is simply sleep.
Oh, the timeless time we had tonight!
Yet the painful honesty seeps in:
In the future, going further is a might,
And devilish solitude, it tends to win.
Awake, my child, for you I have a plan.
Keep your sights upon the Queenly one.
In the end, one goal of mine must stand
Rise from your sleepy crater, to her run.
Seek your Beatrice, my once-wand' ring one,
For as you seek her, it's to me that you run.
