Before you instruct me how to sin
in love’s most licentious of ways, know that the moon
observes everything,
my lips imperial red and jaded
when you kiss them forcibly the clouds
above dissipate,
know that night has relished storms far worse than this;
April won’t lament
nor sing inside me for days to come.

Wow, Sanaa! Sin and romance are definitely your themes. I love the alliteration in βloveβs most licentious of waysβ and the voyeur moon observing the forcible kiss that causes clouds to dissipate.

Standing firm is a quality which many don’t have the stomach for. This was a brick wall, and a lovely write. Loved it!!!

Oh yes, you have identified your recurring theme β which I think all your readers could have done for you, too, with the greatest of ease β but none of us could have employed your signature way with words, which always exemplify and even heighten all the passionate sensuality and intense emotions.
Awww gosh! β€οΈ Thank you so much, Rosemary π so glad you enjoyed it! β€οΈ
I love those closing lines. One senses the hard-won wisdom learned by the narrator. Love “the moon sees everything.”
