I despairest not such moment
dear sir
though supple is
this pen in dripping joy
ye hast betwixt a goddess
ye say
well then aye
I say not quite, nay
fair thee well not
never in deed nor endeavor
'tis a mere plight wearing
the cloak of pleasure
this unexpurgated exchange
diddest thou not explain
that thee wishes to be thy bearer
of this montage of
friendship's word/ love /play
or diddest mine eyes misread thy
in the context of
such poetry's gentle fray
and 'twould that not
be a reference point on which
to bind my own reply to ye
on this very day
hmmm though as delicious as all this
literary tasting is
um shall we say
t'was but a morsal
offered for the pallet
of a connoisseur to the page
and so I give you this poem de jour
for the commitment of your mind
so to further engage............
