Slow Ramble

The writerless pen
Forgotten relic
Of a keyless world

Slow seduction of words
A-wooing over fires and wine
Language of whispers and sighs

Gifts of longing and heart's ease
Lost art of romanticism

Sensuality of touch
Slow dancing with
Wait-burnished anticipation

No ever afters
Only an unending loop
Of kisses and straight lines
Smouldering and soothing

Passage of time
Circle of life

Where nights are forever young
And curtains are for the timid
