5. “Strange Intoxication”
(…continued….)
A gentle stir rose deep in Sushi’s heart,
Hope of a meeting made her breath feel soft and warm….
Her path is lined with
thorns along the way,
Some prick her feet,
some wound her heart each day.
Who has the time here
to look at anyone else?
everyone is running,
trying to find themselves.
The winds of love
changing their direction
showing the wandering heart
a silly hope’s affection.
This meeting will bring
its own sweet thrill,
a gentle intoxication my heart can’t still.
& in the moist lashes, warm and deep,
a fresh new longing
will softly wake from sleep…
