Sipping Cedar With My Sweetheart

And his frost-clad lips I gently kissed
So mildly radiant amid this  place--
That the silvery night grew quite intense
Until a gasp rushed from his cheeks.
While awakening to each other
       Our throbs exploded into daybreak…
       When sweet nectar of fresh beginning
       Piqued an appetite's thrill…reborn:

Even though flakes bobbed near the pane
       I gazed keenly   inside those irises
       Raw yet tender under gloss of lamp shade
       Igniting my hunger for a charmed surprise :
And sipping cedar's pulp of intoxication --- a drink for two
       Mint ambrosia through  dusky air roused all hours 
       As we jived , swaggered along together--

       On this flamed wintry honeymoon day~

For some bizarre reason, it reminds me of Sudden Light by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I enjoyed it.
