Shov’lers of wet sand
hair twisted, then fanned
salt and seaweed strands.

But before I go after you,
my mermaid, love-fated
and promises ensue,
kindergarten must be subjugated.


Rollers of newspapers
tossed in dawn vapors
entrepreneurial capers.

But before I go after you,
my helper, hair braided
and promises ensue,
banana seats should be upgraded.


Players of tennis,
height and finesse
curves in white dress.

But before I go after you,
my partner, on fire
and promises ensue,
a growth spurt, I’m praying, transpires.


Graduators of schools,
idealistic young fools
tiger by the tail rules.

But before I go after you,
my scholar, thoughts rounded
and promises ensue,
insurance (and job) should be grounded.


Writers of email
distant love, frailer
text messages trail her.

But before I go after you,
my pen pal, love dangled
and promises ensue,
a transfer has need to be wrangled.


Tempestuous breezes
feelings in pieces
frustration increases
his collar, she seizes.

Come after me now, before
love dies unredeemed—
Your,
Mermaid
Helper
Partner
Scholar
Pen pal
and
Love.

Come after me now!

While the world stands before us
joyful, not laborious
in Him, existence glorious.


Speakers of vows,
rings all around,
to wind, caution’s bound.

My wife, my love,

Before and after annihilated,
our destiny, hereby, conjugated
eternity, through faith, consecrated.

Selah.
