Love Poem: sour and sweet -

sour and sweet -

whispering ...
          "teach me", you say
               lips pressed like butterfly wings to my ear
     straight to my heart, and in turn to my nucleus, roaring

all things unknown, dance like jesters between us
          bells jingling with mad mystery
               experience, a two-headed serpent, hissing
     naïveté charming it to stillness

the slow sway of callow tenderness
          clean, unblemished surfaces waiting for a new story
               the trace of sexy phrases in carnal cursive
     that exquisite story waits, breathless

for the bloom of true love and passions, pure
          and it will wait longer, my sweet
               for the proper miracle ...
     and starlight.
