please...a no
i know i said i wouldn't
but i promise you words will drip
a concoction of nectar and white hot need
to please you and keep me blue
the weakness from tethered anchors
a wind from which willows get their name
and the droop of crooked spines
yield unique views for us kept blue
I do declare
that the pen of a man in need
pours ink far greater than those
who’ve been sated
and time, that wonderful torment
that even forgetfulness let’s spawn perfection
ferments one further
till their moans an aperitif
there is no surer way to make a man grovel
than to make him go without
in the face of skin tight knee highs
and wicked curves
who’ve arched their backs and curled their toes
with those allowed to play
those who those of us who peer at from below
to catch glimpses for our dreams
and believe mirages yield their promise
if only to delight in an idea
if even for only three blinks of an eye
so take away these pearls
hide them in a knot
and ripen all tomorrows
with a no that’s not forgot
but i promise you words will drip
a concoction of nectar and white hot need
to please you and keep me blue
the weakness from tethered anchors
a wind from which willows get their name
and the droop of crooked spines
