My example
Impatient Pleas (Cazone)
Come lie with me you pretty, pretty thing,
and let us stop our toying with our words.
Your flirting with me started off this thing
and now my mind’s rejecting any thing
but ideas of you- no other thoughts
seem even to amount to anything
because to lie with you’s the only thing
that promises to make my soul my own.
My mind minds not directions of my own
for I most work and tell it that the thing
I want with you can’t be the first and last
thoughts each hour should I want my job to last.
You’re such a curvy and becoming thing;
you beauty leaves me lacking proper words.
You are a woman for man’s betrothing
for character shines through without sleuthing.
although a lesser man may hold out thoughts
that you would be the optimum plaything,
once stripped of outer and underclothing.
It is my plan to take you as my own
while cognizant you’re not a thing to own.
Instruct what I must do- I’ll do that thing.
You’re smitten now, and I want that to last
I’m not your first but wish to be your last.
How can such ardor ever hope to last-
It seems almost a supernatural thing?
When we first kissed I thought “Oh,God! at last”
I’ve lived, so now fulfilled, can breathe my last.
Let Lethe leave behind those unsaid words
for now I wish this mortal life to last
for even should I find my soul will last
I want to cherish you in more than thoughts.
You must be bundled up with loving thoughts
accumulated and well built to last
so when the physical’s not ours to own
your memories will conjoin with my own.
This is the year that we should make our own
I’ll build a future we’re assured will last.
I’ll give you confidence that you will own
all pieces of that heart I called my own.
And parsing out my heart’s no little thing
because it’s always only been my own
and you may have it- while it’s still my own.
You’ll not have to rely upon my words
for acttions will be louder than mere words
and bringing joy to you provides my own.
So frequently I find you in my thoughts
and frequently they’re very sexy thoughts.
When we’re apart you’re with me in my thoughts
and nature makes all scenery my own.
The whispers leaves exchange are surely thoughts
about your luscious form and babbling thoughts
voiced by the chuckling stream recalls the last
time it lapped where my illicit thoughts
will wander although more productive thoughts
would fit the scheme. There’s no more sensual thing
than promised passion- not a single thing
comes close. the anticipatory thoughts
may eclipse the act and mock any words
which may be writ, for they are only words.
Just know that when you penned the pretty words
of a sweet kingdom stirred, that my own thoughts
already were in tune with just those words;
there’ll be no pining there in other words
for my impatience equal to your own
confronts and overcomes delays, and words
are not required to hasten me, though words
from you are like a siren first and last
that cannot be ignored. I know you’ll last
as long as I; I’m burning beyond words
so hesitation will not be a thing
permitted as you are my everything.
Be anxious for that “touch of soft skin” thing.
Do not expect a waste of time with words.
A sensual script will emanate from thoughts
when my urgency meets your very own
Each time, I’ll feel like saying, “here at last”.
