For a Time
Fear has a taste all its own,
Bitter, copper traces.
But you,
You taste of white wine,
Or sometimes coffee
laced with cream.
Banishes fear
For a time.
Your kisses take me
Somewhere soft, warm.
That won't withstand
The light of day.
It's not fair to you,
Being used like this.
But,
If you will be my haven,
I'll share the light
With you.
For a time.
