Need To Be One

I have aged and have become -
A mother without a child,
A wife unwed, without
a husband, but a groom I wish would be
And I am ready but
Not for this anomaly
Created by the scarcity
And unreadiness of another...

But I want us to engage matrimonially
Not because of my age, ascending...
Or my time, descending,
And patience wearing...
But because of these motions that render my blood red
And my heart doused by ferverous amity
I simply feel I must be one with you...
And live free.
