I fear you will tire of me
or forget
or find some lovelier flower to admire
in your garden
So, eager to keep fresh in your memory
and hoping to continue
to fall beneath your gaze
I pounce
On words hardly left your lips,
I pounce, and
Playful as a kit
clamor to be noticed,
noticing you
I gobble your minutes
crave further sustenance,
refrain, only just
from begging,
pride be damned, begging
for just a little more
I fear you will tire of me,
or forget
or find some lovelier flower to admire
in your garden
And so I pounce,
to remind you
that I am here
empty as a pocket
waiting to be filled

Well, been a while since I've been over here, but fear not...
I DO long to have you pounce, though...
