SUGAR AND SPICE

 

Sugar and SpiceSugar and spice, the classic blend,
but she’s more—
a double-helix of depth and grace,
intricate, woven, beautifully complex. Mesmerized, I’m immersed,
thoughts of her cascade like a waterfall,
washing over me, endless,
a current I can’t resist. Continually in awe,
I trace the regal lines of her face,
turned toward mine—
a breath before our first kiss.
