Something Unintended

There’s no one more desirable,
please, if you will,
gift me a sigh,
can not deny.

These days I feel you in my pulse,
dulce, dulce,
in sound of lips,
rolling of ships.

You are dangerously kind; as
smooth as blues, jazz,
break open all doorsβ€”
come make me yours.

    Haaha! Delightful tone, and lines, but so smooth, too, I mean…”smooth as blues, jazz,”…and the line after…sizzingly sensual…you’ll have your readers fainting with such verses soon! Lovely little poem…
