Private. by Eliana Vanessa



desire blooms
in the respites
of calm rain

row my fingers
through snapdragons
labial pink

open mouth kisses
lightning bolts
pangs of tongues
move in jolts
to hush the approaching storm

as the permutations of your smile
lead a sudden downpour
and yet

a wet silence
bides the tempest
of my private ardor
