Dónall Dempsey - Our 1000th Wedding!

Delighted
you undo my tie

then use it to
pull me to you

button
by
button
undo

slowly my shirt
cuffs
with lustful laughter.

Then just
as suddenly you

cry

weep bitterly unexpectedly.

'Shhhhhh! '
I hold you
close to me
ask why
dry your tears with kisses.

'Sometimes...'
(through tears you tell me)

'I love you so
much

I wonder

what would I do

if I were
to lose you...? '

I sweep you
off your feet

carry you
like a bride to bed

swear to marry you
each night forever.

This, then
is our 1,000th wedding.
