THIS LOVE | a CỌ́N-SCÌÒ poem by Salami Alimot Temitope

Words Rhymes & RhythmJanuary 14, 2024January 14, 2024

What is this tingling sensation in my stomach? Your name,
hibiscus in my mouth. Your voice, a star in the night
of my body. This love scintillates the orchid of my core.

Read Time:55 Second
When you speak, enchanted bubbles hover
in your mouth, making butterflies flutter in
the garden of my heart. Your touch, smooth & 
fluffy like fleece, does wonders to my physique. 
Darling, your hands speak the language my body 
comprehends. You smudge the walls of my  mouth 
with the honey of your lips, one that suffices. Your 
presence is light, it makes me gleam with merriment. 
I'm revelling in this moment, ignoring the  world's ache. 
What is this tingling sensation in my stomach? Your name, 
hibiscus in my mouth. Your voice, a star in the night 
of my body. This love scintillates the orchid of my core. 
Don't stop at the shore of my body; own my sea
