Come Hither

Artwork: boy3 - Audrey Kawasaki, 2009

come to me
my sweet thing
and stand
at my
side:
my consort,
beloved,
thou whose
name
art etched
in my
heart,
my soul.

let my
hands
glide over
your
smooth
flesh,
let me
stain
your pale
cheeks
with the
blush,
the wonted
crimson
of
desire.

i will
murmur
promises,
vows
i intend
to keep,
to keep
you by
my
side
forever,
for always.

and you,
my sweet,
my darling,
shall never
yearn for
another
for i
can
i will
give you
everything
your heart
yearns
for...

...only
give your
sweet,
precious
innocence
to
me.
