The Bottom Line Miss Crumple returned for an encore with bionicbanana, and the outcome was very much as desired. Ecstasy was on both our minds, and we touched deeply, well beyond the physical.

As counter-point to my previous Ode
I wrote mis-crumple, as a verb
It said:

To mis-crumple is to mis-calculate.
Mis-crumple is to crumple, what
Adventure is to mis-adventure
There is a time and a place
For everything
And a timely crumple
is (always) serene

However, to mis-crumple
To the extent
That
One prematurely
loses pleasure
Is to mis-crumple most manifestly!

Then, Miss Crumple returned
The day after Valentine’s
For an evening of sensual delights:
We had (four courses) of superb food
with lots of champagne and laughter.
We read poetry aloud (for hours),
And, we listened to the new Norah Jones!

As well, we made love endlessly
(because, you stayed - this time)
with me, in my big brass bed,
after an evening without compare!
Love-making truly is the one
perfect act of co-operation.

You said I'd touched you like
never before - and I'm certain
we united on some elemental level.
I expect you know this too!

(As I’d wanted, you
were so responsive:
And responsiveness,
plus desire, truly are the
ultimate aphrodisiacs!)

We spoke of the Ode (that night)
and you said you were surprised
by it’s arrival, and
especially, you were shocked,
by its content: for you, it was
romance by stealth!

But, you also said: this can’t be
wrong, since we fit together so well!
And, I asked (in the morning)
if you’d counted
The number of times
Ecstasy had gripped you?

You replied there were
too many to count - and
I was like the
energizer bunny, who just
keeps going and going

And, this time, there was no
shyness, nor ambivalence at all:
It was sublime throughout,
including, my finding your
tiny avian tattoo,
in that private place!

You have a dancer's body,
which articulates
exquisitely,
against my weight,
as we become one.

As a result - I no longer ache
for your touch........because:
We have touched - well beyond
the merely physical.
(did the earth really move?)

And yet, Miss Crumple, I feel
Somewhat disquieted
(despite my residual elation)
As you’ve told me there is
Another man – with whom
You relate

You are free (as I am)
And so,
I DO NOT CRITICIZE YOU
for this choice
(nor do I challenge it)
But, it does affect me!

Therefore, I must ask,
Miss Crumple:
Will you give me a chance
Of winning your heart?

Or, is that magical night
ever to be repeated?
(surely, you know, just
as I do, that it must)
It must, it must........!

Because, the pleasure of
Your company is still
TOO much on my mind
(maybe I still do ache!)
To be now content
With this uncertainty

I am not now asking for your
Love -- nor for your hand.
Instead, I seek only this:
Miss Crumple, will you
Open your heart to me
And simply, let it be?

If your answer be no,
Please be swift
And tell me straight
What I might do,
To improve my chances
Of becoming your beau?

For, Miss Crumple
I’d do what I could,
even to complete
(with persistence)
For your affection
And respect

If not, instead,
to have my
adoration (of you)
returned!
