Blanket of Fog

Tiny droplets
condensed moisture
hanging thickly
atop houses
trees, gardens
enveloping all life
a chilling mantle
buffer against
all sensation alas
only the sound is
heard of heartbeats
soft breathing
hushed ‘neath warm
cozy blankets

Sweet Aphrodisiac

Clamoring to the top a
precipice unknown as
silk unfurling
a banner adrift
on treacherous currents
carried along by
fierce determination

Passion unreserved
a love unbridled to
embrace a destination
mysteriously laden
sweet as aphrodisiacs
wonderfully laced
with wine’s afterglow

Not a single fruit
tasted nor a single
glass touched
only titillating
emotions encountered
clamoring to the top
precipice unknown

JOURNEY FULFILLED
