Kiss and Tempest



Honey and satin, soft and sweet
A quickening of the pulse
Right as our lips meet
Oh to breathe you in deep and slow
A slight stir of the Tempest
Winds of passion build and flow
You leave me in want
Foot nailed down in need
For one more kiss, one more taste
Sustenance for my heart to accede
