Love Poem: Essence
Ricky Muse Avatar
Written by: Ricky Muse

Essence

their eyes 
they flutter
or is it propel
either way
a subtle prelude
to a kiss out of sync

their conversation
an amalgamation
of giggles and smiles 
more telepathy 
between hearts
than anything else

their legs 
entwined like shoestrings 
on a pair of old sneakers
seem to imply 
the mating ritual 
of hoverflies
