Whispers of Mystery

Flutters…
         the butterflies, a parachute of rainbow light
             leaping from her pulse, her blond hair buoyant
          heavenly honeysuckle wafting, immersing him
the daub of a fresh strawberry on her lips

Whispers of mystery,
             in the dank closet, a couple strands.
               a lovely blossom under her précieux top
             perchance a predicament?

Happenstance, he thought happily
              had bound two hearts, a pair of bodacious lips.
                  sinks his knees into the mire, they shake
               no Virgin Mary in his mirror, mere...folly!
