"Two Orchids" by Diana Mary Sharpton Photography

Introduction:
"May you live every day of your life.” 
― Jonathan Swift,

Smoky Dreams
He’s in love, not as one wound imagine
Not to the touch of skin or softness in its fold
Not in the wetness of her lips or the curve in those hips
Or even in those ample breasts he longs to hold
No, not even in the length of her lash
It’s the power in seconds as hours together they pass

It’s in a scent; a looming ferocity, hot as a wild fire
That intensifies in the very dampness to crude desire
It’s fresh as the breath in a morning spring breeze
Or salty, as drawn from the deepest icy blue sea
It’s living in clarity within their smoky dreams
And the simple joy that laughter always brings
 
He loves; a mirror reflects this root inside
A shadowy man that appears to his side
Rage? Regret? Invisible now as natural sin
A man’s soul reflects deep from within
On a second peek, his loves’ revealed
Hand’s free, heart complete; a finality is sealed
