Please do not try to kiss my lips now
Please do not try to kiss my lips
Please do not try to kiss my

Love Explicitly Sublime*

The wind instructs the trees to belly-dance
While swirling clouds admire the view
The flowers marinate the butterflies
With dust and dew
And two romancing swans
Appear to lose the sense of time
That's love: explicitly sublime

Your body touches mine
As passion lures us to embrace
And as we do, our souls
Transcend and dance without a care
Like waltzing pixies in the air
In harmony, like poetry:
They rhyme.
That's love: explicitly sublime

Alluring Bewitching Courageous*

A midst a luscious forest
B eyond the ragged plains
C aressed by misty moonlight
D ecorated with pearls of rain
E rupts a mighty maiden
F earless yet delightful
G raceful and divine

H onoured by the lightening
I gnited in the furious sky
J asmine admixes her aroma
K aleidoscopes are her eyes
L aced in her curls is the night
M ystic rubies are her lips
N ature is her mentor

O rion is her hero
P andora's Box is her anger
Q uaint is her smile
R evered by the ocean
S erenaded by the sunset
T eeming with desire and
U ndying quest for the truth

V ictory is her game
Warriors salute this Princess
X ena! They hail her name...forever
Y et she yearns for
Z estful kisses from a lover
