Love by The River Bank

Once there was a maid that caused me pangs of a lover
When day and night I had sighed all in vain
Ah, what a pleasure it was to gaze at her and discover
In her eyes rare beauty that caused me ecstasy and pain

Once early morning when the sun rose in the East
She took herself to the margin of a river and set by the bank
I followed her foot print on the white ivory sand
I became delirious by what my eyes had to feast

Never did I know was it from heaven or from hell
That I at once was transferred to ferocious giant whale
Into the cold river with hat and cloths on I jumped
Struggling through waves of that magnificent swamp

Moving through elongated kelp and tall erected reeds
I went through the water gashing deep
And I reached the silhouette of her fine legs below
I bit her lovely maiden toe

'Go away' she yelled, 'you rotten villain'
She would not hesitate to let me apologize or explain
The dear rush of hormones in my brain
As if I was like that every day, normally insane

She pushed down my ugly face into the river depth
Until I faint and lost the control of my breath
But once this love saw that my breath became too heavy
She tightly pressed my head to her lovely levee

I would never imagine by what measure
This utterly heaven bestowed upon me pleasure
Is scaled, I can only equate it to a divine holy treasure
If that is how people meet their dire end
Such sweet death every Friday I will pretend

Her neck upon my shoulder was pressed
Her swan-like breast upon my manly chest
'Don't die' she exclaimed, 'Be brave and breath'
As she was overwhelmed by sincere seethe

And as I watched the varied hues of stalks and ears
By the river bank a shinning mist like canopy appeared
Of butterflies with glorious riotous colors bright
And gossamers with wings transparent light

Scarcely seen when they were hovering above
And though they hummed they hardly seemed to move
The fierce eagle clasped the rock with crooked elongated claws
For once he delayed his thunderbolt fall in blow
