Notes About The Poem

Evening's Menu

Sweet

Princess

sensual sass

oh virtue sublime

two perfect little bows

plump raspberries, fresh

tapered, moist lusciousness

wispy chili pepper spiciness pure

plucked in cool rain for love's intent

dew-dappled fruits of desire, inexorable.

Oh, like spinning the moon in your hands

there's naught but Luna's glinting your eyes

that can hold measure to those nectarous berries.

I shall consider it my honored duty, to so determine

to let the soft, deep adoration of my press to your own

be the only concern for which I shall offer my deft attention.

Oh, do not gods themselves aspire to such commitments, thus?

Your divine mouth is all I'll need for my own deliberate attainments ...

loose the moon from your tender grasp, for this moment is ours alone

its soft blue beams, the rill of romance that we swim together ... to drown.

Incredible write, dear Bard, in shape, word choice, the weave of the moon into the script, and the vocabulary of intimacy that you so excel at. "the rill of romance that we swim together... to drown".
