My Love

 

Chalk so gray that it belays,
The drawing of our bygone days,
The dark so black,
The bright so white,
Three blocks I walk to hold you tight!
And, I will hold your hand tonight!
By, God, together we’ll be free,
To set our couple’s destiny,
I’m nothing ‘til I reached to you,
In my surprise you touched me too!
Oh, wintry wind. Please blow me down,
Down to my lover’s part of town,
Our parents will as ages move,
Will see we love, and will approve,
And, as it goes the black and white,
The drawing of our bygone days,
Are colored, brilliant, bright displays!
