Analysis of a New Life
Tom Case 1967 (California)
The honey on the
wet orchid glistens
in the sweet afternoon light.
I lick softly the
petals and the bud.
Your sigh is like
a symphony.
The emotions pound through
me like an ocean of love
like a river of madness.
The juice sticks to my soul
and I want nothing less then
to give you breath and life.
