Remiss

The intimacy of love

The beauty of our eyes have seen
no compromise of modesty
and whispers to our heart's deceit

A virtue of our smiles confess
the simplicity and nakedness
delighting what our hearts detest

Trophies of a noble shame
where shadows of a kiss remain
in murmurs that our hearts betray

When counseling a lover's charm
the radiance of tender warmth
brings measure to our heart's reward

The taste of sweet may linger on
when absence of our fair grows fond
and longing in our hearts are gone

Bespeaking of a rampant bliss
may delight and dwell amidst
the remnant of our heart's remiss
