Soon
Soon.
Four letters, two of them the same,
but when you said it to me
last black velvet midnight
moving toward blue
the shiver of electric need
copper tasting
nerve tangling
sense jangling
removed every last bone in my body.
When would have been a fine question,
but "now" was the answer I craved.
Soon.
Sexy little "s",
looping around me like your arms
and hauling me in
for the exquisite tang
of your goodnight kiss,
and the very last letter in yes.
So I'll make it easy for you.
When "soon" arrives
the answer is yes.
Full body cast,
domestic chaos aside,
emotional roller coasters be damned.
The answer is yes.
