his eyes
twin thunderstorms
in tranquil receptive pools
warm glimmers
suspended
silently dueling
over the hope of
an improper private
promise
unkept
yet still so swept
up
so so urgently up
into the complete
POSSESSION
of another's forbidden
allure
William
sweet sweet William
you slay me
with your charmed penchant
for the edgy calm
that lives within you
all mere remnents
of such rare male restraint
stolen out of afterthought
for such moment's hesitation
in my deathless enchantment
of thee
I allow myself only these vague
snippets of outburst
to recount to the world
my poetic recollections for you
written in love
