I Dared Not

Some men would die for her      
she is captivatingly beautiful  
her bosom radiating an flame eternal
her lips exuding feverish passion
possessing a soothing touch    
   
she encompasses womanliness    
much more than phenomenal far beyond comparison    
she breeds precarious obsessions    
jealousy & envy her identical twins    
a packaged deal worth every risk    
where ever she goes they also go    
consuming and consummating the hearts of all lovers    
   
the words "I would die for you"    
rolls off the tongue like dice    
at a las vegas roulette table    
foolish men gamble their lives away    
hoping for an opportunistic chance liaison
they lay their weak hand of cards on the table
foolishly knowing that the house always wins            
                 
Me Tho!                  
                 
I'd rather live for her    
be awakened next to her    
caressing her entire being    
exponentially growing with her    
creating royal family bloodlines    
building dynasties fill with knowledge and wealth    
existing uniformly, in oneness    
   
because to be absent from her    
even if for only a brief moment    
feels like the coldness of death itself    
I dare not spend an eternity staring into the frigid eyes of death    
while I can live basking in the glow of love and beauty    
absorbing the genuine warmth of her divine light

I am no fool, I like a sure thing    
no one remembers second fiddle
winning her heart was everything     
and you cannot not lose everything
if you don't play her rigged game
I refused to lose, I dared not lose    
   
I dare not I tell you, I dared not I say
       
I dared not
