It's such an intensely
sensual feeling...

the way gorgeous golden words of passionate love
smooth over the roughest spots,
like silken threads dangling over the edges
of the blue gown of daily life

~sheer-as-gossamer~
~lighter than hummingbird down~

yet equally intensely felt
are those bursts of passionate anger...

the sandpaper
that scrapes raw
all the exposed silk surfaces.

At first I thought you were describing Toerag's underwear

I love it!
Your work, NOT, I repeat, NOT Toerag's underwear!
Although Michael might like them a little

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
