Lad in Love

Thy man amongst the leaves

Standing poised and gallant is he

The patterns shine bright on his sleeves

He is handsome and carefree

 

He’s thinking of his delightful lover

And her porcelain skin and long golden mane

Above his head, his thoughts start to hover

As he knows that he soon will reign

 

As dusk begins to set

He longs to see his beloved

Every time is like the first time, they ever met

When he’s in her presence, he never feels unloved

 

He plans to steal a kiss in the night

For she is worth any misfortune

Even though sometimes, it might feel like a fight

As she pleads her love so slightly it makes me grin

 

It will all be for nothing if they are caught

But I know that the battle was hard fought
