Long to medicate with you until we are filled with glee.
Long to sedate you with my siren singing voice as you just be....

Everyone should have lovers wearing their favourite scent.
Everyone should have a love as sweet as mine, at first innocent....

and in the Mediterranean Sea 
only few of them
die by accident....

I would jump out of the water
Checking to see if other ships

And write lively stories about me
I would be deemed the sheriff
Of the Mediterranean Sea...

The seabreeze her velvet truth; archaic..
Wrapped warmly her breath, about my breast
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams...
Sliding sensually across my kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne....

amidst the leaves of ferns 

In the obscure dawn, 
the birds are all restive. 

Had we all been 
a swarm of unleashed birds 

For sure we would have built 
a Mediterranean sea

Wrapped warmly my breath about her breast ?

Sliding sensually across poetic's kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne....
