Pollen of lust

Khadine Ritchie 1986 (Kingston)



Her gaze upon me;
Intensifies my passion,
But leaves me burning through the fuel of my desires.
I relish the moments where I am...
Subjugated by a wink,
Confused by a touch.
Unrestrained is my yearning, only to be...
Silenced by my surrendering to loneliness.
