Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Fair and SweetOh love, your kisses dear, are sweet like honeyed wineAnd with your words, such words, you’ve gained this heart of mineWhen you touch me, how you touch me, with touches fair and fineWith touches like embraces, with embraces we entwineOh love, your tawnied hue contrasts against my lightAs my soft, virgin tenderness contrasts against your mightSoft are my breasts, young are my breasts, pure are my breasts and whiteWhile sweet your promised steadfastness that makes our loving rightOh love, you have blessed me, more than I have beenFor I’ve a child growing; growing deep within…He looked at her and looked at her and looked at her againAnd with a smile and a sigh poured another gin Written October 19th, 2001 © on Oct 19 2001 04:31 AM PST   0 • 8
