For my lovelies with who I have neglected of late

These words I write in hopes not to procreate

But to let you know you are in my thoughts still

So let these words be my promise and not just lies of the quill

Within my protective arms you shall be

Within their warmth your safety with me

Forever your sweet scent will entice my hunger

Forever your beauty goes not asunder

Know that I am watching wherever you may be

Be it from a doorway or my soldiering jamb

Know that my intentions are good, for I am but a man

You are with me always, wherever I am
