what tender beloved tyrant
be tweaks the cool facade
of my lofty former discontent
I know of not any
such said memorable other than ye
who woos me so wondrously
with just his zeal's cherished wit
he who speaks to snug at my famished
heart
such a fiery lead in life's finest play
a sensuous virtuoso of rapturously gentled
reverie
revealing sweet soft surprising self portions
of this 'Love's Intrepid Start'
a pride less poet's soul lain so
breathtakingly bare
through incursive letter block form
he paves for me a longed for way
my thoughts make waste less haste
to mature and meld themselves with thee
and to such strong yet trembling tenderness
may this deep love's fostered infant be born
to two once so terribly lost and empty lonelies
at last miraculously returned together
seamlessly cemented
and stronger than ever
to gloriously sail
far that above
the usual day to day dulled hum drum of
the shallow
and all their world weary scorn
I give to you
this handsomely tooled battle cry
my tearful muse
Hark!
for she raps soundly pleased
at the welcomed sight
of your awaited spirit's door
no longer a simple guest
in your heart
but a treasured inmate
in bedded in its very muscle's core
so, you just try to extricate me now
I dare you
mon shy amour!...........
