Lush Light



It’s something so simple to ease my mind
To wash the flotsam of fear away
And instill in my heart the contentedness I need
The smile that sets the standard

Your lips are calming after such daily distractions
Their silken sweetness lights upon my skin
With a delicate balance of beauty and desire
Gentleness and fervor; love and lust

Our embraces are driven, yet natural
Bristling with energy, accommodating and receptive
Our malleable forms fitting fluid curves
Our hands like liquid pouring over each other’s skin

You can certainly bring happiness to mind
Through tantalizing touches and welcoming warmth
But the curve of your lips and watery eyes
Are the keys to the happiness in my heart.



Don L. Waddell, 1997
