Balm of Desire

The fresh scent of laundry mixes with sandalwood incense

a prelude as it heightens the fragrance of wax on sweet wicks

from one hundred candles that dance on a ceiling of dreams

essence made in anticipation of skin rubbing on spicy skin


Shadows augment the senses and covet passion and pleasure

treasure the moment yield eternity as they consent to craving

tenderly embrace fondling desire and binding together of souls

experience memories and anticipation bring play to the fore


Rose gold of wedding bands click the rhythm of heart beats

rhyme the crescendo tie tides of promise and orgasmic glow

pheromones moan at the cusp of delight exude naked perfume

the best aroma ever is the radiant release when we make love
