The fragrance of your body;
Obscures vision, dulls the senses.
Not wishing wine nor weed;
Have laid down defenses.
The Adonis petals;
Tempting amorous mouth.
The heart now radiant;
Redolent of beloved South.
Sweet flower, given myself to you;
Let me follow, and linger indivisible.
The portals of sanctuary unseen;
Accept an offering, quite whimsical.
The night is warm;
Our love so deep.
Music lulling;
Our mind asleep.
The air so sweet;
Sweet as flute.
We lie here loving;
Passionate and mute.

Wow! I’ve never thought of the South that way, but here it is in beauty, desire and flower. I note, too, from the myth, that he lives and dies for women and is forever reborn. Given this, the way your poem ends is luscious!

The last stanza is magnificent. Both because I love being able to taste flute (that sounds a tad awkward), and because the final line leaves us in an almost shocking silence.
