cupid’s arrow

when cupid strikes
don’t pull
the arrow
out
too soon


let
the dust
of love
settle
around the room
perfumed
hair
neck
& breasts
arouse
the mind
turn
the music louder
pour
the wine
candle light
dancing on the walls
creating
a space
not between


though
the air is warm & light
breathing becomes
an exercise
of delight

 

touch

for a moment

for a moment
for a moment

more

 

touch

kiss

caress

with a little lust
and
lots of
passion
