Poem in Response

Having read “Primitive“, a poem of passion penned by my dear friend, Holly Hunter – a beautiful and talented Poetess hailing from Florida – I was inspired to write this poem in response…

It’s never too soon
For a trip to the moon
When the love in her heart catches fire

Magnetic delight
Cresting waves in the night
On the beach, tidal flows of desire
