Love Poem: Lopped

Lopped

I thereby pledged to leave alone
      endeavors bound for ills, my own
            to worship at your fleshly throne
   and bow before your pleasures
their ends, quite at your leisures

      oh all my prayers are met, replete
         while fawning honors at your feet
   ten hot-pink piggies, soft ‘n’ sweet
lined straight as little misses
      kept clean for courtly kisses

         I'm just a jester - scoundrel, true
   one foolish fool for moonlite, blue
when daubed upon the husk of you
      pearled garland for your bedding
         to naughty knots, we're heading

   yet while I worship yours, all-in
and fan our friction, skin-to-skin
      you call another's name (with sin)
         and perfect passion molders
   so cleaving, as it smoulders ...

this fool's head ... from his shoulders.
