Mythic Kiss

Mythic Kiss

Lips stray into the forbidden zone
Where satin stars sink into pores
That breathe like a Greek chorus
Of salty rhythms of a tango priestess
Whose sunken treasure lies in smoky sunset
Waiting for Puck to pluck her blossom
With the delicacy of darkened grapes
Filled with the fire of a Merlot Monet

Her taste for the sacramental wine
Finds fruition in the fruit of his vine
Whose seedlings sprout like vineyard orphans
That find roots in her trellis of tresses
Where strands dance on his hatter’s ribbon
To tease the sleeping dragon
From his virgin hermitage
Where a velvet kiss summons the troglodyte
Of Cyclops awakened from caverns of Minos
To revel in a labyrinth of maidenhood
And drink the soma from the lotus flowers
That run wild like hyacinth in her Buddhapond
Under the sun of a million summers
Whose petals are tongues of flaming swords
That sever the Gordian knot
To unleash the Selkie
From the bestiary of fable
When the kiss of the seal woman
Upon the cairn of his Druidic delight
Awakens the dawn of her knight
