Plum Velvet ~ Romance #3

In velvet silk, in deep plum rich, I come to you in finest stitch.

With heart of love and willing mind I give myself to you resigned;

for I have known a season long that in your arms I must belong.

And should you find this kindred plight, may life be kind and grant respite.

Cupid Love ~ Romance #2

Valentine, valentine, will you be, taking an arrow of love for me?

Cupid is hovering, spying nigh, hunting for someone who's caught my eye.

Valentine, valentine would you care, if he did deem us a well-matched pair?

Even if for a 'day', 'twould be fun; do be still, take the hit, please don't run!

Butterfly Kisses ~ Romance #1

Brush your lips across my shoulders, like a summer breeze at noon.

Wake my arms with tender lightning, like a moth lit by the moon.

'Round my neck encircle gently, at the nape, beneath my hair.

Flutter long above my earlobe, like a butterfly midair.

There is nothing more delightful than a tickling kiss well placed.

In your arms I'll find contentment when you kiss me in no haste . . .
