The infused seam
of the trembling lips
making desires go wild
to indulge in some tender embrace

Eyes meet
with intense passion
raring to devour
each other’s soul

The spittle spread in abundance
giving a rare taste of
the Mediterranean sea’s

Summer brine
And they let go loose
in that split of the moment
even though in chaos
they feel the unimaginable truce
