Love of Youth

Ah, to part the ways
and sup at the font of the profane
taste the deepest cut
presented as a roseate tulip
by a youth
his cheek still flush
with the blush of spring
he entreats the velvet pussy willow
to early bloom
despite her changing colors
of so many years
an invitation
to stay the seasons' progression
and lavish in the sizzle of summer
kisses of honeysuckle and thyme
twined and intertwined
first north to south
and south to north
then writhing in tandem
his embrace deliberate
her mouth fragrant with his scent
a humid coupling
of sumptuous indulgence
releasing pollen and honey
spent in dual release
rhythm of the seasons
mark these lovers sacred
