For Lindsay
I
Oh, sweet
green-eyed muse;
thy emerald beauty
has
beguiled my pen.
II
What words could I
use
to tempt your
heart as you have
enchanted my own?
III
Would my feeble
pleas
serve to entice
elegance,
or prove me a
fool?
IV
Desire cannot
be expressed in
verse alone.
Still, the soul
must speak.
V
While I lack
talent
with speech, these
tributes to thee
spring forth
unimpaired.
VI
Though I fear the
flames
lust has kindled
will consume
me, passion rises.
VII
I long to enjoy
the touch of your
lips ‘gainst mine –
a divine union.
VIII
I beg caresses;
to feel the warmth
of your skin
under my fingers.
IX
I yearn to lay
close,
our limbs entangled,
as we
whisper
endearments.
X
The sanctuary
I seek rests in your
bosom;
exquisite solace.
XI
Lady, I live in
faint hope of
someday holding
your soft hand in
mine.
XII
These creations
live
by thy
inspiration, and
wither in neglect.
XIII
Though weak lines
cannot
match your radiance,
I pray
they will woo thy heart.
