A hot sweltering sticky humid evening
Heat clings and hangs in the stagnant air
Almost too hot and stifling to bear
Floods of silver wet ovaline beads
Perspire and exude from every opened pore
Trickle and slide in small ravines
Skin soaked and shines and glistens
Under subdued ambient lamp light
Darker varied shades and tones
Paint and cast shadowy patches
Upon contours crevices and folds
The night when chocolate and vanilla
Eclipse-like lovers' lips
Melt and merge into one
Deliciously delectable
Honey sweet tasty and succulent
And perpetually morish
Licking the bowl clean
The dawn breaks
The last remnants of last night's cloak of darkness
Clears and teardrop-sticky dew evaporates
Dried by the stretching rays
Of a warming newly birthed morn
The hen stretches her wings
And clucks
The cockerel croaks
As the stifling heat has now gone
And morn cools down.

Heart with a keener marigold edge.
Using a crimson mulberry shade.
Trilling is as regal as a raven crown.
Embedded in the sky of a striking color.
Scarlet grape drips on closed lips.
Luscious, but ultimately fatal
Morish odors as tightening of chains
Indentured by my present self
Star-stained soul, guilty of fierce love
The success of delicious vengeance
Flimsy lilac paper flowers from losing bliss
Produce evil things on my grave
To recapture this era
When I pledge faith, there is a spare chance
Holy fumes that rose vanished in the trial
In the zero-gravity zone of outer distress.
