Sweetest Gift

In between courtyard lunches
And sporadic bass rifts
I had become attached by introvenous curiosity
And subliminal melodies
That seemed to crawl under my skin
And creep its remedy into my tired heart

Those eyes had held me deeply
My fixation beyond comparison of any other love
With your hand in mine
Grazing my youthful fist with callused fingers
And giving me the sweetest gift of all
The gift of your kiss

Years have passed
My belly is swollen
With everything I could ever ask for
Even the spheres of sweat
That have taken residence upon my brow
It seems to be the sweetest gift of all

Catching my breath
Plopped beside you on a park bench
Watching the offspring of my offspring
Plowing through the leaves
Holding that hand in mine
And handing you tissues with the other
Those eyes and me
Seem to be the sweetest gift of all

Rhythmic beeps
Sterile white linen sheets
Synchronized heart beats
My melody of our eternity
I see you sleeping next to me
The epitome of what you shouldn't be
So far away from me
So I hold your hand in mine
Beside you in time
Just those eyes and me
Dying with my everything
Your sweetest gift of all...

    Okay, PureRomance would be crazy not to choose you as his AP wife. Go you! Good luck, opponent.
