Covert.
I see
butterscotch evenings,
lollipop skies of amber-cream,
last light frothing waves
as sea\'s olive coverlet changes
to caramel-sepia.
*
*
I see
twilight blush streaking
dusk in stripe humbug-tints,
pink cheeks dimpling
as honied in cherry-lip mem\'ry
arises clandestine scenes.
*
*
I see
Treacle-soft times sealing
promise of secret trials,
offers of pleasure
as sundown uncovers eager
share in mutual feelings.
*
*
I see
Chocolate-smooth dreaming
invades ever after to hold
close romantic moments
spent in covert still tasting
of first love sweetness.
