Mésalliance Poem by Hannington Mumo

Do not despise these declarations of candid love
For want of bettered pastures beyond the fence,
For grass is ever greener where greedier eyes see
Sights that break codes of heaven-bonded friends.

You are not to spurn for want of glittered dime
These heart-felt affections as snobbish crime,
For in the final analyses of real sensible things
None can sever the hearts of Fate-bound beings.

Although silvered lips more sizzling elegant be
Rhyme-gilded vibes far sweeter lyric musics belt,
And while bucks a favoured champion Alpha make,
Lofty Muse's finest lines grander pantomimes pelt.

Lateness could be the only bane of this morphing love,
The only marring blot singeing the violet rainbow above:
Sign of a belated union between two hell-fought hearts,
Long-opposed stars long-cast to intersect at failed parts.

See to it that the intersection does not teribbly fail
Now that the said stars from variant horizons hail.
