I call him Leo
Because Leopold is the funniest name
I’ve ever heard.
I know it’s rude to laugh,
But say it twice and you’ll feel a giggle harboring
In the back of your throat
That tickles as you try to push it back down
But say Leo
And I can feel his velvet lips upon mine
His tender hands against my skin
His breath that smells
Of honey sticking
To my neck
I can feel his striking aqua eyes
Watching my smile as he
Whispers gently into my ear
About springtime
When I will
Wear a flowing white dress
And a band of flowers in my hair
As I say with a laugh to Leopold
I do
