Simplicity Swoons



Love springs desire from the heart's gentle beat
as swirls of colour dance sweet grace:
laced with fine fragrant bliss,
I capture beauty in your face
while simplicity swoons before bare feet;
waiting for this warm kiss.

Wishes smile,
dreams tangle hair
into cool knots of promise.

Justice removes her blindfold with a neat
motion then laughs life into space;
embraced, you're my princess,
exotic spices scent this place
where we roam sensuality's sweetmeat,
undone is your bodice.

This soft style
unfastens fair
romantic sweet-lined service.

Doris, magnificent are your blue eyes,
sighs released now wander between those thighs.
