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~ Best Free Verse From November 2018 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Lu Lou ~ Written 11/25/2018 Submitted 12/10/2018

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