R hythmic waves rose bending, beating
O ut of my heart into my soul breathing once again,
M elting beneath the silk heavens hued in cherry blossoms.
A nother night to drown in your moonlight blue eyes,
N uzzle into your neck then savor your lips once again,
T angle my fingers through your silky chestnut hair.
I don't ever want this night to end
C aught in the lace work of your love.

NOVELTIES
by Thomas Campion
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Booksellers laud authors for novel editions
as pimps praise their whores for exotic positions.
Original Latin text:
IN LIBRARIOS
Impressionum plurium librum laudat
Librarius; scortum nec non minus leno.
