Steadfast

Resist the urge
To overlook quickly
Truths contained herein.

Your taunts spoken
Like honey dripping
Sweetly and slowly
From tongue flicking
Onto body awaiting
One light brush
Of withheld kisses.

Our memories serving
Mutual promises lending
Friendship and fantasy
Given to silent
But soaring arias
Sung wonderfully twice
To breathless audience.

Accept this willingly
My love remains
Undaunted and forgiving.
