Wild Words

My words in sonnets, haiku, or "fences" Only for you my endearing true love Worry about voice, rhymes, and tenses Only for you my prettiest pet dove Carefully I slip each word on your string Meaningfully picked and perfectly placed To split your heart open and hear you sing Sweet, sultry nothings from bosom unlaced Light in your eyes dispels all my darkness From your lips honey slips, drips, and oozes Coats my sorrow and swallows my starkest Hardest lumps, and my ugliest bruises I'll write you a sonnet, a song, or haiku My wild words, I tame only for you ;)
