little sonnet

you have the power to own me with a kiss
to crack the contract modify the deal
please do whatever anything you feel
you won't see me attempting to resist
is this love admiration worship lust
a foolish crushing midlife naive thing
yet dangerous enough to lose the ring
of promise guarantee forever trust
is this a lazy indecisive thought
unadvertised for sale easily bought
committed unenthusiastically
in sail full speed ahead but all at sea
or could it might it would it be a break
that both of us can should will dare now make
