I. IMPROMPTUS by Solomon S. Drogin

121. Woman Answered

"I want you" she said
"I'm going to have you."
He looked into her eyes
Spake nothing but reflected

Nay, the songster lies
He meditated not, he
Nothing at all did do
Nothing, nay, he did listen.

Sappho are you living
That in this woman your lyre
Could again pour forth its song
And show the world love?

Let me believe it, censure me not
Perhaps the peace of body, the rest
I need, I crave, and you, having
The key which I shall need.

If that is so, I answer
I want you too, beloved
I am going to have you anon
Art thou answered, woman mine?
