You have witchcraft in your lips.
Your neck with it’s dewdrops, rosebuds of sweat, decadently delicate.
Your eyes would mesmerise the void, that defiant gaze makes a dark abyss blush.
Your heart, emanating soft petals, filled with love like the ocean in high tide under a full harvest moon. Your heart, adorned with sacred sweetmeats.
Your hair tickles the small of your waist, thick and dark, dark clouds heavily swollen with impending storm. You dance, your tresses are a fragrant spell of sage smoke and ashes of roses and ominous seduction.
To touch you is to caress a kitten.
To be touched by you is to dance with a panther.
You hold within a honey pot of musk, vanilla, lavender and ambrosia, a precious secret, enfolded in thighs like tree trunks.
You are shivers, down the spine and through the earth, a dread goddess, ravenous, desiring, devouring,
You are a feather trailing along skin, fingers running lovingly through his dark hair, a fuzzy, velvety peach caressed by stubble, pink rose petals on black silk sheets, purring in his ears, meadows, daydreams, waltzes, the harp in the morning sun, fawns cradled in a soft lap.
You can make the three realms tremble and quake, your rage unearthly,
You can make gardens bloom, your sweet, floral nectar drips generously, it makes immortality taste like a ripe mandarin’s poetry, and the Lord of the Dead brings you flowers, gently placing them in your hair.
You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council; and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs.
William Shakespeare, Henry V
This quote hangs on the soft pinboard above my desk - a reminder from me to myself, ‘You have witchcraft in your lips.’ It inspired me to start this poem, and then it all went where it went.
