Leo Shelton © from the recently released “RHYTHMS – Poetry and Muse”

Wrapped in rapture
Burling conjecture
Circling fools
Calling itself love
Camouflaged in lust
But splendor
No less

Sun rising
Setting moods
Passionate caresses
Decorative swoons

Splendidly taken
Aback; then forward
Unspoken feelings
Never bored

In splendor
I surrender
Reserved passion
For you
Reluctantly
Carefully
Exotically
Me
