i offer you enjoyment
the golden sunlight
streaming in the kitchen window
in the mid-afternoon kind of joy
i would confine you
to pleasure
if you were to visit
like a princess
i will be your servant
attentive and patient
in your lap
of luxury
i will wrap around you
like a mystery playing
on the car radio
as you drive along
a dark backwoods road
and i will say
you are beautiful
because it is true
and because
the soft hues
of afternoon sunlight
can only whisper the truth
i enjoyed ;*)
reading this poem
The last stanza is one of the most awesome examples of verse that I have seen in 28 years of reading poetry!
