How Could I Ever Resist? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Embraced by your arms
Locked in a forbidden kiss
How could I ever resist?
The fragrance of a satellite star
The carelessness of a misplaced dew-lit web
The embodiment of a rainbow
How could I ever vacate
The nectar of this one true closing apricot flower
Whose sacred scent comes by way of the god's
To overwhelm my heart, my thoughts
Evoking dreams without limits
Incremental pleasures that never cease to devour me.
Minute by minute, hour upon hour
Regardless of any crude trivialities I still hold
On to plucking petals from another freshly cut rose.
