Ebullient

My dear madam

You travel so far

Yet you shan't knock at my door

This act or lack thereof puzzles me

For I have expected your visit for quite some time

Madam please do not stand on ceremony

Politeness burdens you 

Weighs you down

Clouds your nimble wit 

You stumble under the guise of etiquette

I shall abide by your wishes and seek you out

I desire your company, your banter and your dusky voice

You pretend that I do not

Imagining that I harbor indifference

That dispassion and aloofness govern me

When I come upon you

I shall offer my hand

Raise you into my embrace

Listen to your silly vain mockery

Laugh at the transparent badgering

Pouring from your rouged pursed lips

Silence them with a simple kiss

Ergo I shall take your arm in mine

Squire you about

Shoulder to shoulder

As we trip over our gaiety

Ebullient in our yearning

Finally falling through the threshold of my open door
