Women Versus Woman, 2016

Love ones; excuse these urges I now purge, 
The brief kiss that always exits her door, 
The encore of lust, no permanent words. 
But I must tour, cure this curious lure. 
The plural roses, sweet culprits, steal me. 
I yearn to multiply this term called queen; 
Perhaps the youth of man, tricks thee,  
Yet this passion married to thrill seems keen.  
And while these eyes may add, still fond I am. 
Fond of the rare court, she will always be, 
The way she humbles, this lesser term of man. 
Yes, now I may spread, but retire? Yes to thee. 
      I pray this case settles before long,
      And wins her promise: fate is never wrong.
