My Maiden Visit With Jen

Number II of THE JENNIFER POEMS I implore thee Jen Listen to the call of my heart And to th’appel of my tongue- I beseech thee to listen while My tender heart goes ding-dong. There exists no fuller joy Than when my arms enwrap thee. There is no fuller bloom Than when I listen to thee pipe. I have watched thee play in the hay And heard your songs whispered the breeze Heard the birds play your name. I have watched your very innocence while my heart Blooms like a thousand daffodils in autumn’s joys. Before thee I genuflect, eyes watered With the mist of my gleeful love. My legs collapse before thee in wonder. Lift me up, lift me up! Am I no mortal? Am I not? Why let me suffer this way? Just give me back that strength I need By those three words that fuel the Soul.
