 TWELVE: THIS AND THAT

When does a new year begin? at

Twelve or one minute past? Hat

Cat skiddle that.  


A tomato red and delicious, is

It fruit or vegetable? Her

Eyes wide open to a yummy salad. 


Once upon a time in a fairy tale

Twelve princesses.

LIMERENCE

Thoughts personal until shared

Like a doughnot turned curve.

There is no whole in two halves,

Only sections of desire fed of sweet

Longing.


Her eyes, his lips;

The curve of her brow, his lips;

Morning dew, his lips;

Finally, whispers of the heart;

Silenced in a kiss.

  3. You have captured limerence in these lines, Gillena:
    ‘There is no whole in two halves,
    Only sections of desire fed of sweet
    Longing’
    and then cranked it up even further with the repetition of ‘his lips’ that ‘Silenced in a kiss’. Very sensuous.
