by Jean Richepin (1849 - 1926)

La salive de tes baisers sent la dragée
Language: French (Français) 
La salive de tes baisers sent la dragée 
Avec je ne sais quoi d'une épice enragée, 
Et la double saveur se confond tellement 
Que j'y mange à la fois du sucre et du piment. 
C'est dans le même instant l'eau courante et la braise ; 
C'est plus chaud qu'un alcool et plus frais qu'une fraise ; 
Et ton souffle s'y mêle et me monte au cerveau 
Comme le vent du soir grisé de foin nouveau.
