he sounds
her name..

it resonates

it focuses
on all she is..

this
love betides
her guiding speak,
her plainsong, warm
philosophies,

inseparable
and binding...

and what
she gives is
immeasurable

a
pleasurable
unweaving of
that self-perceiving
lie,
leaving him
stripped, yet
unashamed

but dying,

dying
to live like
this forever...

and when you said
laughter is like a foreign language
i imagined that i was
teaching you how to
speak it

call your favors,
ask for more,
beg and plead,
it's what you adore,
on your knees,
give a second chance,
you're no match for me,
i'm the queen of the land
