The Promise of Love

(Dedicated to GLucciano who inspired me. Thank you.)

Isn't it enough that I extend my hand to you freely
That I am willing to give everything you ask of me?

Or are you that ill-at-heart that even a femme like me so worthy
who carries the virtues of angelic hosts cannot have your honor?

It is true you are not much to speak of
Yet you behave as if king among men
So easy to replace you in my affections
But in my generosity and grace I extend your days

You consider my frailty and assume weakness
Not observing my tendency towards wisdom

My affections are but folly to you
Your only interest are my parts

Even the heavens are against you
Preventing your lustful ambitions
Creating a way of escape for me...
To save me from myself

Storing up my passion for you
Yet longing for valor to show up

As he plants his love deep inside my inner-sphere
Your image fades quickly, the shackles no longer appear

Alas the universe and I are as one
The ecstasy I longed for has now begun
