There were never strawberries
like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step
of the open french window
facing each other
your knees held in mine…—Edwin Morgan, “Strawberries”🍓

Like the Idalian queene,
Her haire about her eyne,
With necke and brests ripe apples to be seene,
At first glance of the morne
In Cyprus gardens gathering those faire flowrs
Which of her bloud were borne…—William Drummond of Hawthornden (1585–1649), “Like the Idalian queene”

When you go,
if you go,
and I should want to die,
there’s nothing I’d be saved by
more than the time
you fell asleep in my arms…—Edwin Morgan, “When You Go”

Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love…—Carol Ann Duffy, “Valentine”
published in A Red Rose or a Satin Heart: An Anthology of Scottish Love Poems, @canongatebooks 2010

A handful of flowers, bound with silent prayer,
Each tender petal dreams that you are there.
As springtime trembles at love’s very first sigh,
So does my heart when your soft name drifts by. 🌷✨

She reworked Dorothy’s
slippers into 12-inch
stripper stilettos
’cause there’s no place
like what became home...

Cosmic Seduction
by Crissy Bliss AddamsI am the Sun.
When I want, I flare—
violent, naked, solar.
I ache like a star
on the edge of collapse,
my gravity begging
to pull you in.I am not soft.
I am slick with hunger,
primed to consume.
I want your orbit wrecked,
your breath stolen,
your body trembling
in my heat.I don’t crave—I consume.
I want to taste you
until gravity breaks.
Let me orbit your pulse,
tongue tracing constellations
only I can name.
Let me hear you collapse
into pleasure—
a supernova
on my lips.I don’t crave—I devour.
I want to make the constellations
forget their names
As they observe me take you.Let me eclipse your reason,
split you open
like light through a prism.
Let me swallow you whole
and spit you out
reborn in my fire. -
Devour You Whole
by Crissy Bliss AddamsI am the Sun.
When I crave, I combust.
My skin sings for your touch—
spicy, salty, sacred.
I don’t just want you.
I want to burn you
into every galaxy
I ever create.I am the Sun.
When I want, I scorch.
Your absence is agony.
My skin howls for your heat.
I don’t crave softly.
I burn.
I blaze.
I beg the stars to watch
as I devour you whole.I am the Sun.
When I ache, I unravel.
My thighs ache for your grip.
My mouth dreams of your sweat.
I don’t miss you—
I combust.
Come home.
Let me ruin you
with pleasure. -
Hot Chocolate Hope #lovepoem
Lived a few lifetimes in one.
Been married. Divorced. Healed.
Met someone new. Didn’t work out.
Been heartbroken. Healing. ❤️🩹I’ve felt your warmth in quiet moments,
like the hush of snowfall or the first sip of cocoa on a cold day. You feel like peace. Like presence. Like home.Before you, I learned to hold myself. I stitched together the pieces of a heart once overlooked, and in doing so, I became whole. I stopped waiting for someone to choose me and chose myself. Then you found me!
I’m not looking for a saviour. Am looking for a mirror: someone who’s met their own shadows and still chooses light. Someone who knows that love isn’t a hiding place, but a garden where truth can bloom. 🌸
We won’t always get it right. But we’ll be honest. We’ll be soft where it matters and strong where it counts. We’ll build a love that feels like a favourite mug: worn, warm, always within reach.
Together we are: living, healing, laughing, sipping something sweet. Remaining spicy, always.

Two girls hide their love for each other;
Wait and see what love will uncover.
Wait and see if something will happen —
Wait, waiting for love to kidnap them.
Two girls melt under the starlight;
Two girls find the hidden path before them;
Two girls find their burden is cumbersome;
Two girls think the grass is greener on the other side.
Wait, love, and hide —

Oh Mother,
what wrong did I do to this earth
or to the futile gods that sit up above?What deed did I ever do so wrong
to learn from their mouths
that my beloved is gone?...

Under a full moon where two fates did mix,
Veiled promises unspoken that were betwixt.
And in that single pause between the beats,
Silent gazes complicate what once was neat...

Love rules. Love laughs. Love marches. Love is the wolf that guards the gate.
Love is the food of music, art, poetry. It fills us and fuels us and fires us to create.
Love is terror. Love is sweat. Love is bashed pillow, crumpled sheet, unenviable fate…—Edwin Morgan, “Love”

makes a rough springtime
