should you come

      



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

The last stanza is one of the most awesome examples of verse that I have seen in 28 years of reading poetry!
