Water Cooler Kiss
His Velvet voice
Rusty growl
Gentle pauses caress the veiled swell
Her secret beneath a tailored vest
Radiant warmth spreads
thistledown
shuffles through the tunnels
to balance twixt her dancing fingertips
His breath
tucks a dalliance of warm air
a butterfly’s gasp
electric current peek a boos behind her fragile ear
(Pause)
His Breath
orchestrates a dazzling jazz duet of earlobe and heartstrings
(Pause)
Her Eyelids
gently shutter
her shy but weary countenance
Encase this memory, my darling,
Store it safely
well
beyond the reach of gossip’s grubby fingertips
and muddy maw.
Savor each harmonious heartbeat
Thrum with yellow birdsong
Accompany Divinity’s duet of dawn.
Feathery Love
Take to the wing—
Without a blush or backward glance.
