Muted Confessions

You consumed me whole,
unshackling secrets
stitched close to me,
eavesdropping on
each whispering word of
my muted confessions

Your carmine lips
relish my
rugged refrain,
your touch,
a lustful lavender caress
blossoming like
spring tendrils,
drenched in
the nectar,
an ambrosiac conflagation

I sway
back and forth
on the vines of lust
as the Eden-esque fruit,
the vinicultural life
of your sipped wine
