Love Poem: ooh that hurt -

ooh that hurt -

did you notice
     when you dig your nails, I cringe?

that strange look
     is not a smile, but a wince

I did let you
     when you wore that sexy fringe

but my back
     has been complaining ever since



just because
     I call you Baby when we love

doesn't mean
     that you can bite my lower lip

and I know
     you love to wear your leather glove

but my cheeks
     now show the bruises of your grip



so when you
     pull my hair, I'm apt to sneeze

and if you
     pinch my thigh, I'll throw a fit -
 
          (still ... )

I have one
     tiny secret, if you please ...

I'm starting
     to enjoy it ... (quite a bit).
