in the midnight hour
moving slowly to the soft jazz notes
your eyes closed
but feeling my overpowering love
your hips swaying, your lips on my neck
we press into each other
your fingernails dance up and down my spine
you are the gentle touch
stroking Yardbird's deep notes into my flesh
in the midnight hour
prelude to jazz 'n loving you

Thank you, Michael. Heehee I know that was difficult for you to say because there were no rhyming schemes within this one.
