Poem by Evelyn Abelli

In blushing hues, I often gleam,

With a tender heart or a cherished dream.

Wonderful daydreams, delicate and pure,

In my presence, you may feel more secure.

You can hold me in your hand, 

Or use me as you command.

Either one I do not mind.

After all, that was why I was designed.

A symbol of affection, I reside,

In my embrace, your hearts will collide.

A burning passion, strong and true

In every touch, your yearning grew

With flames of craving, you already knew,

That what you were feeling, your heart would pursue.

A silent language now you both know,

With me, your passion will continue to grow.

In their smile, you find your place,

A reflection of longing on your face.

But don’t be scared now, it is time,

For you to finally let your soul shine.

Rub me once, to give you luck,

So when you approach them, you will not get stuck.

Stuck up on all the words you want to say,

Allow your emotions to go out and play.

Now it is time for the next chapter of your story to unfold,

I will make sure that your heart is strong and bold.

Jump ten years into the future,

You have figured out that you are a smoocher.

Happily you two now live,

With one cat, one dog, and a kid.

In this world of yours, you will always be,

Bound together, all thanks to me.
