Wildfire and Innocence

children of an emerald isle
     
        inhabiting a pause
              in brutish wars


    dulcet notes
            of tenderest voices
     
        raining as leaves
            from autumn's branches

 
      rivulets of caramel warmth
             
        energizing oft rejected
                  lovers' embraces

 
    as he loosens her plaits
            of cinnamon and wildfire
     
        she raises piquant lips
              to his nakedly innocent
                      adoration
