Dear Sweetness

Sweetness, you are a poison that infects.

Contagious, you are transmitted

in every smile, every blush and every wink that I receive from you.

Yes, you are absorbed into my skin through its very pores

when you seep, sink, and stir into my soul.

You sweeten, even, the very salt of my being.

Sweetness, I wish to wake with you.

I wish to wake up with you on the puffy pillows

of feathers that make up the cushion of my love.

Sweetness, do you not wish we could wake up together?

Every morning?

I wish to see you, Sweetness.

I wish to wrap you up in the envelope of my heart.
