Subject(s): Brides; Desire; Kisses; Love; Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Your negligee. The curtained room.
The bolted door, and the redolence
Of rosebuds hurried to their bloom.
The ring displayed upon your finger.
Your quivering breasts. Your soft, warm lips.
The attars of a flowering May, that linger
In your kiss. Your kiss, your kiss—
All mark a bridal-suite to be—
But a bedroom of satiety.
