A blooming pair of vermeil cheeks, like Hebe’s in her ruddiest hours.Crisp as the unshorn desert hay.Grey as time.Pure as a Saint’s adoring sigh.Sideways, like an amorous dove.Soft as pity.Subside, like a swollen bubble on the ocean tide.Swift as a star falls through the night.Swift as a sunshot dart of light.Warm as a prayer in Paradise.
