Marshmallows and Wine by Sara Haghdoosti
Lust
Hunger reflected in two eyes,
Beads of sweat glistering on heated flesh
Rapid breaths, pounding hearts
The soft silence of satisfaction
Passion
Crumpled sheets in midday,
Crystal glasses, tinted with the red residue of discarded wine.
Fluffy marshmallows in a morning's hot chocolate,
Dried ebony dust from last night's flame.
Love
The curve of a smile
The resounding smell of aftershave forever entwined in soft sheets
Gentle laughter flowing naturally,
Two hands, lying on each other peacefully.
Life
Small indulgences that make it all worth while
