Love Kiss

 In petal hush, a promise pressed,

Where light and longing softly rest,

Two lips of blush in dawn’s first gleam,

Embrace within a fragrant dream.

No thunderclap, no wind’s parade,

Just one still bloom in velvet shade,

Its tender hue, a whispered sigh—

A kiss that does not ask us why.

It leans into the golden breath,

Unfurling life, defying death,

And in that bloom, so small, so brave,

Lies all the love we’d ever crave.
