Unchainmailed

She let me watch her removing her armour

Each buckle proved an arousing trial

Her nudity’s beguiling book, a Ulysses type

Guileless, we’d lie untiring

A reed-tied brook nearby

Dreaming in purply, Caesary pie

I would not wish to move but do not know that I could

A pleasant bind, finding oneself tied, finding we tried

Despite distances of time and physical miles

The mires I crossed to admire distantly

Your piston judgement

The sun disc of your Minoan face

I jump bulls outside your place to prove my faith

You seem my fate, how dainty a plaything

How dropped one could efface forever

Make a wraith, fail to sustain the blaze bespoke made

For me to take.
