you dearest sir
standing there
ever so clever
in your blank dark hooded stare
and at my worrisome personage
no less
a man of complexity and reason
whose eyes positively blare
how dare ye care?
I, your freshest temptation
say, fear not this mouse
she sees in you all and more
that you even dare to arouse
a particular passion
pleasure's own sweet source of
deviled amusement
a random scolding of one's choice
left ye with such a dark decision
a lie in exchange for supreme
togetherness
or the cold, embittered truth
that begets such sadness and
unique solitude
why, it was easier than a child's laugh
to fully know just which you in your
singular agony of spirit would choose
you poor , beautifully hideous man
don't you know that I would love you too
without any care at all for society's foul
opinion
I beg you
beseech me then to do so
and your joy shall not go unrivaled
I Love You Edward
frightfully so in fact
you see your wildly snapping eyes have
been telling a good many tales on your
precious dear heart
I see the half starved lover
beneath the vague enigmatic Sphinx's ruse
but note
that terribly tempered black hearted vulcans
are at a premium these days
at least in my restless wondering thoughts
of you......................
