Half past love......

Moments stolen like the wink during lectures-
to caramel delights under your desk. 
The touches in hidden places hurried, 

one-eyed kisses never lingering:
the harangue of sleepless nights .

You say time, like hearts have hands
to hold their breath for an hour and a half
of Freud's id.
The tick of corridor conversation in Morse code.
Da Vinci wall posts no comments.Time, you say: You and noone else likes this.

Afrodisia
nubile slyphe of myriad graces,
I suffocate at your hand, am unfriended
by time.
I wrestle my super-ego in Tyson bouts ,
Tyson bites to gossip's ears dear you fear
her tongue lashes of hostel idleness,
the harangue of your sleepless nights

The allure of a silken touch to parted thighs
caramel kisses in dark alleys, one eyed
On the look out for that shooting star 
When we no longer have to lie about us: 
My wish.
