he tastes of rain
this frail willow embrace
laughing midnight passion
erupting honeysuckle pain

i savor his orchid
this fragrant indigo dew
glistening hot bronze
brooding silent ocean

he shivers with honey
this lonely chrysanthemum reed
shaking richness soul
flooding quick breathe nectar

i love his youth
this pungent waterfall moon
flowing splash spring whisper
harvesting tremble showers

he smiles with unspoken
this clear jade wild fire druid
moaning beautiful indulgence
releasing heavy silver

he tastes
i savor
he shivers
i love

unspoken jade wild fire
whisper spring splash flowing
heavy silver pungent

this frail willow embrace
