Father Okeefe

You have tempted me again 
a rather sinful plot beneath 
the sultriness that beseech 
my wretched soul 

why it is nearly dawn already 
oh how you calmly cater 
to my parts toying with every 
freckle tampering with even 

the faintness notion that 
I'd whither myself upon 
your broad shoulders again 
why I'm afraid to ask that 

we shall do it again 
that I'd but only secretly 
fail to mention us 
only by the writings 

of my pastel diaries 
oh come with me love 
above a whisper let us 
dance on the sunrise 

daintily behind the loft 
so well hidden within 
the distant nook where I 
shall summons your 
manliness  once more
