Elysium Fields



A kiss is mysterious when hormones come to play:
lips press ecstatically
as passions swoon and sway.
Elysium is the way.

A touch is sensational when savoring the skin:
fingers trace the textures
as new feelings begin.
A Valhalla is the win.

A gaze is mesmerizing when painted by the mind:
visions are created
as paradise they find.
El Dorado is the prime.

A voice is ethereal when hearkened by the heart:
hearing is sonorous
as love lyrics impart.
Arcadia is the start.
