You may say i’m a dreamer

to marry
to marry and become a husband
two look at two.
to fall in love has been abused
but i will have to fall anyway
pardon the heartbreaks and those they confused
forgiveness is hard, i must say.
i will find me a cherub at first
see if she hungers for my kind of thirst
tell her things she may not have heard
How she’s better beside a man with beard.
If she agrees, of course she will
we’ll begin the thrill
look for a job, a decent one
put the prayer warrior switch on
dress in a way her dad never did
smile to attract her mother indeed
a bringer of gift shall always be loved.
and that’s many problems solved.
I’ll gain other favours in large sums saved
find a church, vendors, families and friends
dance to music I’d never in my life craved
and look like my life, on all of it depends.
and in the end,
my friend
after many years of love and tears
across the table,
two beauties would sit
to look at two.
I would have become a husband.
something i might regret
