such an entrancing deep accented voice
it haunts me so lovingly
even in my sleep
and makes such innocent love to my
tender senses
such strain less emotion holds me captive
a sweet blessed discontent
anchors me to his recently
well lit harbor
even in the fiercest storm
why hurricanes themselves would fear
such 'A Wild Avid Heart's Pouring'
so you see
I need no cleverly placed boards to
cover these thought to be compromised
windows of mine
for my pride's private stock and before
barely even touched inventory are quite
safe and sound
so handsomely terrific in its making
has become this personal temptation
with such sweet deep breath's gasp
I await my steel tempest's splash
fully into my life
while a tremulous surge of blood
plays Vivaldi's Four Seasons
to better accompany it would seem
my own desires magnificent view
with little qualm
I walk with the aid of hope's very
own life stick
crawling forever nay
and when I look up to see your calm
expectant face
I break into a rich rewarding run
towards you
as I steal from you
your hungry pride less heart
your smile hugs my entire being
and our mutually delighted laughter
seals us both up into the lining of
such a blameless eternal.........
ecstasy's very own kiss
to love anyone is bliss
ah
but for me to love my you
now that is a rare yet quite specific
gift
and this poor little pitifully pledged
poem seals only just a little of our
latest rift
can you forgive me for forgetting your
birthday now
somehow, I think in my souls warmest room
you already have
so how could I not love you more than I
already do
its just that easy
my so fragile darling
that's all.....................
