Having long admired
Him from afar,
Something akin to love
Rooted unconditionally,
Aching within her for a day
There'd be no distance
Come between them.
When that time should arrive,
With bated breath,
She opened arms wide
To receive his eternal embrace,
To feel ardent need
Run through her.
And so it was,
And as lagniappe
She bled out
Upon the floor,
Her going smile,
One made of bliss,
In having finally felt
Love's pleasurable sting.

Having long admired
Him from afar,
Something akin to love
Rooted unconditionally,
Aching within her for a day
There'd be no distance
Come between them.
When that time should arrive,
With bated breath,
She opened arms wide
To receive his eternal embrace,
To feel ardent need
Run through her.
And so it was,
And as lagniappe
She bled out
Upon the floor,
Her going smile,
One made of bliss,
In having finally felt
Love's pleasurable sting.
