"MAKE LOVE TO ME IN WORDS"

They've not repealed the syntax,
semantics on the page,
and then there's always diction,
linguistic's all the rage,
but if there's something
hot to spot
and phrases steal the show,
deconstruction strips you down
and diagrammed you'll go.

And then there's where to put
those subtle exclamations,
marked by all those breathing sighs,
those oh's and ah's in stations.
Yes, and your inner voice,
it's noted disyllabic,
and echoed
in the bedroom as
thrillingly iambic.

To grasp a stem and firmly hint
that all roots tarry here,
is just to show that when it counts,
and when we need definitives,
you're best evoking innuendo
backed by split infinitives.
