These Lips Would Splutter

.

                         If I had no pen
                               or slip
                          if face to face  
                        you did me see
                         my legs would
                             tremble
                         and these lips
                         would splutter

                          So while you
                      my princess sleep
                              far off
                         from my own
                      my address gate
                          I cheerfully
                       with the gleam
                       with promises
                    and kissing dreams
                            dressing
                   and undressing thee
                          I with this  
                        pen and slip
                            can be

                   your forever loving
                           humble
                            prince
