Of her who I promised heaven, earth, moon and the stars…

Ladies and Gentlemen do not wonder aloud that such a one as I should in a moment of love-(that madness or disease if you like), promise my lady, her who drips with honey, heaven, sun, earth itself and even moonshine!

No doubt this was a glaring lie because in the first place I don’t own heaven, much less the sun, much less earth and much less moonshine. Therefore, the logical question you would ask is, “how can you promise someone what you don’t own?”. My quick answer would be that this was not just someone and that secondly a promise is predicated on fulfillment or that this promise was predicated on an intention to keep basis, circumstances allowing rather than ownership”. Which would make you wonder whether that is a promise in the first place but lest not go there for now.

And so as to put “my darling” in good light, I would add that I did not just promise in such a manner because the dear lady was a “reluctant one”, or a reluctant woman, therefore leaving me no choice but to such extremes of promises. Far be it from me to lower my lady, who drips with honey itself, to such echelons!

I am however consoled in that the lady is “broad minded” enough to know that it is not the reality of the promise but rather the “thought” behind it….and so, courtesy of this thought, the hug extended for twenty minutes. Of course the hug was a pure delight…until midway between the twenty minutes it became a temptation.

Until I asked myself whether I get rid of this temptation by succumbing to it? Or conquer it so to speak by yielding to it.

I must admit that my thinking was greatly hampered under the circumstances, which is understandable. Young men, this is wisdom for living, I realized something. That there are two time, one a time for thinking, two, a time for not thinking and just going with the “flow”.

Be that as it may, “me and my house” we doing well and greatly blest of the “Lord”. Just a small thing if you please. This days I brood over who of the two of us should “pop” the question. For the sake of consistency, seeing that I am the possessor of “heaven, earth, moon and the shinning stars” effectively making her the possessor of nothing, and therefore consequently in “need” of me, she should be the one to “pop” the big question.

Isn’t it time that we men also had the power to deny women? Me I think this is our time as a politician would say this is our time to eat. I am thinking, its time she went down on her knees( or knees in my case) and said something like:

Life is not life without you babe, bla bla sijui honour me by becoming my lawfully wedded husband (which would make me think if I am the lawfully wedded one, there are the unlawfully wedded ones but le me not go there for now) I have since discovered that it is only your rib that I have bla bla and other such tender words. Such words as would make it so tempting for me to say no.

Any way that is my utopia because right now things are such that she has the audacity to tell me on my face that: ” I can deny you whatever until we go before God, (she didn’t state which God) and say I do”.

And so am wondering whether or not this is a needless postponement of happiness….or the driving of a wedge between desire and fulfillment. Such a statement from her makes a majority of you feel “woie” for me that such a loving dude would end up with such a one, frog, as a majority of you would say.

But let me encourage you for I am also not beyond encouraging. Christians would say “be still and know that I am God or something of the sort. Me I would say be still and know that her body (or person), given the right environment, in the presence of right words(which I have in plenty), and moves she will not even think of “denying” me anything. I would encourage you still that of the two of us ladies and gentlemen, one of us is weaker and we men know we are not the ones. That there reaches a time when we think with the heart and the mind will have no choice but to keep up with the heart….

And then it shall come to pass before God, (seeing that He is omnipotent) the saying shall not be ” I can deny you whatever bla bla….” That marks the end of my blabbering.

Fare thee well
