Sudden Kisses

Sudden kisses, in lusty stealth - warming as morning sun - unmasked favors to allure and added heat to deep affection. 

Those eyes, fair heaven should be spangled with such stars - and those radiantly concupiscible lips perform witchcraft. 

Slow hours of marriage-like joys soon followed - lover’s tongues tanged from the sweetest flowers not of the field. 

In that dear company, I surrendered, like eve's apple, that treasure - peevish, proud and idle whose natural enemy is man.

What I find now haunting my sleep are the nights, the years of lost and unused benefits - knowing that fault was mine.
