Song of Songs

The groom woos the bride
through the veil of flesh.
To get her attention
takes the strategy of
a cat stalking a mouse,
but with a different
intention of course.
The wish is for union.

Two into one is a mystery,
like a mythological riddle
is meant to be solved;
to understand this calling,
to heed this call,
will liberate the dove
that has been caged
for far too long.

      I said something cynical about love and that isn't a good thing, so I quickly got rid of it. I like your poem and believe any couple who gets to that place and is able keep the dove alive is blessed.
