Your Wish Is My Command

‘Your wish is my command’
he said it just as any woman in love
might want to hear

He said it like he was evening some score
somehow leveling the playing field
but said like he might really mean it some day

He said it like he was divulging some deep secret
that might otherwise never see the light of day
yet here was one step closer to a goal or destination

He said it loud and deliberate
so I could not misinterpret
or pretend I did not hear

‘Your wish is my command’, he said
so I’d know that somewhere below the surface
he meant it to some degree

I knew he liked the gallantry of it 
and might even want it be true
so I took the gift as it drifted onto shore

Lone and castaway, a care package of sorts
I didn’t know what I might do with it
but I gathered it under my wing and 
offered it a home within my heart
