Ave!
You alone are the
Absolute and Almighty Authority
--Appoint and anoint us as agents
in your army against the antagonist
as he awaits his Avenger and the abyss
Alleluia!
You are our Advocate,
abiding, awe-inspiring, able, and appealing
--Admonish us again in our avarice,
abuse and anger
--Aid us also to abandon adultery, abortion,
apostasy, arrogance and anxiety.
Amen!
You are the Ancient of Days, the Alpha, Abba,
Adonai, Anointed One and the I AM.
--Accept the aroma of agape love arising in
the air as we act in one accord.

I sought to find the sunny skies
There, found beauty before my eyes
Your beauty is without disguise
Reflects a love so very true
No mask upon the sight of you
Left with only one thing to do
I succumb to the lover’s cries
Now, here we are in warm embrace
The sweet perfume, your porcelain face
Body draped in beautiful lace
Releases this mans deeper sighs
I cannot live without you near
Distance then, is my only fear
I love you, darling, most sincere
Until my unwanted demise
overall rhyming scheme for the poem is
aaa/bbba/ccca/ddda/... Colloquial language tends

A bottle of beer
Maybe a glass of wine
I offer to you
Sit back and unwind
Talk about the children
Memories make is sigh
Remember parenthood
Came with no contract to buy
There's no lease agreement
Can't trade them in
Insure with full coverage
That's where it all begins
Coverage comes from the heart
It has unlimited length
No matter where they go
It offers astronomical strength
When they break down
Don't call AAA
Only a parents love
Can get them on there way

There is a lot of love in me
It is so easy then to see
I wish to share it all with thee
So take my hand give in to it
Two hearts as one, so they will fit
The candle here to then be lit
As our love will then set us free
Cast not away the love, or die
You must at least give it a try
Together then two hearts can fly
So forever our love will be
