An Existential Dilemma
I shall pause my pursuit of earthly perfection in order
To ponder your hold on me. Can someone who's so
Clearly another's possession expect to be perfect?
One's bound to doubt, as the latter must feature
Autonomy. My mind is in conflict, as seeking
Perfection is merely a method of bringing more
Pleasure into what has been a mundane life, but being
The captive of you, lovely woman, reveals that this
Measure of my imperfection also brings pleasure
To me.
