"Like a Flower"
-- a canzonetta


Fiorenza and Giacinto gather
In shady woods where none may see them meet.
Wildflowers foam like fragrant lather
Where passion swiftly sweeps them off their feet.
Fiorenza climbs him like a cedar;
Giacinto pulls her down to kiss her face.
Fiorenza lets him play the leader,
And loses herself in his fond embrace.

Fiorenza opens like a flower
Under her lover's hands, his knowing touch
Minute by minute, hour by hour
Until the ecstacy becomes too much.
Gasping, she grasps hair like so much sable;
Her limbs fall slack and she feels her heart race.
Fiorenza laughs, her breath unstable,
And loses herself in his fond embrace.

Notes:

The Canzonetta is an Italian form that often has pastoral, irreverent, or erotic themes.

Ecstatic!

This made me feel like running around the house screaming “Yeah” and doing Victory arms! \0/

Very sexy! And still loving and fun, which is my favorite part of their relationship.

I binge reread all of the Fiorenza poems last night in preparation for this poem and it Does Not Disappoint!
