Enter The Dragon And A Quicksand Poem by Louis Santhana

She is four years
older than me - yet
I am not mad, but all set
to marry her soon

we have been in contact
for six long years
knew each other's conduct
quite perfectly well

our interests are many
much in common, sweet, funny
just strikingly identical
balanced and parried

we are at heart
very clean and frank
familiar and passionate
on the weaknesses and blanks

thoughts, actions
and behaviour-wise
we have tested and proved
ourselves to be too nice

complimenting quickly
for the fine tasks each does
we have never crossed
the limits & barriers set

Having found the
fool-proof match
fit to be prized as
MADE FOR EACH OTHER

and, relying on the strength
of the bonds of love...
we now marry....

will you please pray
for our sailing to be safe and free.


Louis Santhana
