Saint Aloysius

ROMANTIC SACRAMENT

Send me not roses

Carafes of wine.

Send me your words

Of love divine.

Send me not jewels

Encased in gold.

Send me your words

My heart will hold.

Send me not silver

In purple so plush.

Send me your words

Oh, make my face flush.

Send me not silks

Of shimmering dyes.

Send me your words

Bring tears to my eyes.

Send me not song

I sleep close to death.

But send me your words

For my very last breath.
