We Entwine

I had an inkling
More than delicate tears
and soft lips

More than a sip
from your golden malice

Unfettered by affection
Surrounded by miser’s smiles

In the aftertaste
of your voracious tongue

The rolling apples
of your words

Beneath
the dimly vanishing

The common language
of selfish flesh

Your words are like strawberries mixed with apple candy....
Busous sweety Busous

Wonderful words as usual Amanda. Ben

Are you now 'savaging' Eros to rescue the spirit from the selfish chains of ego pleasures?

Your little glass pen cuts clear and sheer, dear.

Searing intensity staring down the wild calls.

Yeeow!

I particularly like 'malice' instead of 'chalice', and 'Unfettered by affection'.
