Challenge Submission Sugar

[Fáolan Alveson]

Sugar

Down flows the river
Of pure molten gold
From our temples to toe-tips
Together we're whole

Our kisses are snowflakes
Our touch lights a fire
Of love and rich longing
And primal desire

Your eyes reflect forests
Your lips, a stray rose
They taste of sweet plum cakes
And nutmeg, and cloves

My heart is your chess piece
To do as you please
My love is unyielding
With you, I'm at ease

There's no fear in these footsteps
No trace of past pain
Only love, and kindness
And sugar remains​
