Will You?

" Will you love me when I'm dead?"
She asks, while playfully twirling a piece of blonde hair
Around her left pinky.

"I will follow you into next world and love you there as well."
He answers, while watching that single strand of gold
Twisting around and around...mesmerizing.

"What if I get in a horrible accident and my face is all scarred up?"
She turns her soulful eyes away and looks out
At the rain gently tapping at her window.

"I will hire the best surgeon and have him to make mine match yours."
He gazes at the gentle curve of her neck
The soft angle it makes as it meets her shoulders.

"What if I get a horrible disease and am unable to bear your children?"
She queries while stretching her long, trim legs
To cross his, as she lays on the blanket.

"Then I shall search the world over and find a child worthy of you as its mother."
He responds trying to restrain himself as he feels
His longing for her rising up inside of him.

"How do I know that you will love me forever?"
She wonders aloud while turning,
Offering herself up to his ardent desire.

"Because I will die for you, disfigure myself for you, sterilize myself, all for you".
He vows, as he allows his passion to sweep over her
Cradled in the arms of her love.
