Drink, Now, My Heart

Sweet Scent Of Sin

Palm Trees at Bordighera by Claude Monet

     

    My heart is a stolen, sweet scent of sin,
    Your perfume the bath that burns in my brain;
    I, in this place, in this bed I am in,
    Crave that from which conscience tries to refrain.

    Your slow, slender stride is sauntering need,
    That pools in my mind, as you cross the floor;
    Approaching my side in your gentle greed,
    I swim in your swoon, as I beg for more.

    My poetry pushes passion on you,
    Morality is no match for this make;
    Our special suite has a fantasy view,
    We fall in love with no room for mistake.

    I recite verse--be it right, be it wrong,
    You lay in my arms, and sing to my song.
