Illuminated

Evening about you reminds me of the Sun
You are light and diaphenous warm and sultry
Like a thousand summer solstice or alchemists spells
You are as bright as Venus the morning star
I would like to bathe in your sunny afternoon's

Follie Au Deux

I am mad about you
You have caused windstorms that inhabit my mind
I can not discern truth from lies because to do so would make me sober
It is in the telling of the wine and my drunken heart 
I do not possess the presence of mind and find it laborious to be present
You have done this
You are a love thief and i am a mere begger
I have chosen madness over reason
I am enslaved and a willing devote

Sacred

I want to kiss you there, in that sacred place that is waiting to be devoured
Softly yielding to my arousals as i skillfully awaken you with the finest of craft
You taste of saffron and jasmine flowers that perfumes the air
You ebb and flow in reveries unspoken

Saline

She weeps
carelessly spilling more and more tears
I have caused this tsunamis
there is no word to comfort her
Instinctively, we warm each tear in the palms of our hands
carefully listening to what they each said
Just in case we forget how to speak
