To me this 'Senryu' type poem is about trust between lovers, 'noxious lips' infers taking good with the bad and swallowing it whatever. 'Without fear the summer won't dry infers you are sort of sweating with fear maybe, a lot can be read into this anyway....

Wow. So few words and yet so many. I loved every second of this. Those first two lines are powerful. I love that you describe this woman or man as a poison, something that's forbidden. Going further you welcome that danger, "Swallow my soul without fear" daring them to do it, whatever that action may be, but also daring yourself.
The last line, to me at least, is a little confusing. Upon first reading the word "dry" doesn't seem to make sense. However as I read it a few more times it started to. I think you mean that nothing bad will happen from accepting this poison. Comforting yourself and the other person that it's not so bad. So as I came to see that the word "dry" did make sense. Another great Job!

I like the way you used the word noxious to describe the woman's lips- I've always loved that word. A lot of your poems have interesting formatting techniques, and I was curious as to whether there was some sort of a purpose behind it. It's short, so there isn't much to patch up. I was thinking, though, that "Part your noxious lips" rolls off the tongue a bit easier than "Open your noxious lips". Just a thought- it really isn't much of a change, nor is it necessary, but I really want to try to help. With or without the change, it's fantastic, a perfect score.

brings to mind giving yourself to someone totally and entirely. letting them know that this is true love, that it is not just a summer romance, but one to last a life time. great job.

:) thanks for the review Gom :)
Seems confusing at first but it tells a story in very few words. The title also leans toward the meaning. Good Job
