to Shagy


Who are you to remind me
Of my need of a beautiful glow
That covets my weak sympathy?

Who are you to remind me
Of my need of an inflaming cover
That scars my flesh with smears of lust?

It must torment so, as well you may know,
Your womanhood is indeed noteworthy;
And by that you repeatedly win me over -
As to yield to your beauty and touch, I must.
