Rosy heat kissed her cheek.
A sunset at sea.
Rosy heat kissed her ear.
A flame that purges thought
and quickens the pulse of fondness.

Salty Kiss

Make me cry as we dance in sin.
Then make me laugh while I’m weeping.
Love is a hiccup and a tear-stained grin,
and a salty kiss drowned in giggling.

The Breath of Tedium

The breath of tedium is the sigh of longing,
A mob of lonely feelings thronging
At the quiet gates of thought
Where peace of mind is often sought.
So many diversions do I pursue
When all I want is to be with you.

Bliss

The bliss that passes o’er her face,
That bathes the room in radiant grace,
Comes from the food she lays to waste,
At her own unhurried pace.
