Terry Miller Poet Rondeau

It's Been a While

It's been a while; I hear her say;
since parted lips have come my way,
felt eager breath hot on my face,
my aching heart once more to race.
For long, I've kept our love at bay.

You visit me with fine bouquet,
and yet, I know you did me betray.
Should I accept your cloy embrace?
It's been a while.

I could open and let you stay,
for you to have your wicked way,
your bygone treacheries erase?
My earthly urges make the case.
Oh, maybe just one night and day;
It's been a while.
