1. 
Look at me staring -

cautious, undaring,

waiting for life like a marionette.

Breathe me a licence

to rupture this silence:

'Romeo, reach for your Juliet!'

2. 
As a vision of beauty,

entranced, I salute thee,

stripped of your clothes on a mental dais.

Your bosom caresses

those waterfall tresses,

silkily drooping around your face.

3. 
How can I speak to thee,

up in your galaxy,

straining my roots in the reticent earth?

Love is a fantasy,

spiced with reality;

stoop Aphrodite, and savour its worth.

4. 
Voluptuous temptress,

a siren and sorceress,

sprawling all over the path of fate;

if I were your rider,

black-widow spider,

would you propose to devour your mate?
