By: April Mae M. Berza

Intoxicated with the words evaporating
from your lips, I surrender to the
innocent passion throbbing inside
my chest to unearth the treasure.
Silence imprisoned me for a moment
until I lose all the fears, my senses
surged backed to me as I free the
virgin tongue now enslaved inside yours.
