For the sweetest
I was so swimming, swimming to a golden, golden beach,
I was so thriving, thriving to a thrilling, thrilling shore to reach.
To meet, to meet, to meet my sweetest, sweetest goblin,
To have the longest, longest caress, beauteous, lovely and graceful.
To have the fascinating touch of the luscious luster of the innate ambrosia great
To merge in a shining, tickling horripilation; that's so gorgeous by right
To sow the seeds of everlasting fascination in the precious chest,
To make a garland of all thrilling thrills, all grace, oh vest.
To chain, to chain the darling, darling to my heart so well,
To mingle in her precious calmness, comely lust to dwell.
To flow as a rapture, in her vessels; as her own, her own,
To burst and burst, forever, forever and so gone and gone.
But couldn't to meet my sweetest, couldn't, couldn't meet.
Still I am in search of my sweetest, to meet, to meet, to meet
