A Drop of Honey

a taste of spring
in Terra Australis
hormone blossoms

cooling off…
i lick
the nectar with delicate tongue

the sun rises
on the mound of Venus
stealing kisses

a drop of honey and your
smile blossoms
like this daisy in my garden

longest night
i devour the yellow moon
in my first orbit

the blushing bride
in full bloom
why are we so lucky?
