Capers In After Dinner Mint

The cloth that patterned me woman, persists
Soft and sturdy, glossed in silken lilac mists
With intrigue in my eyes, I dream
Making Tarzan art a delight to the senses

Like this, to love him in his hard working nature
Picturing his face lit in naughty nomenclature
Rustling his tee shirt, scents the air I inhale
Meeting him at the threshold of return

So much so, that I find more courage to bend
Thinking thoughts that would fetch him more time to attend
The music of his laughter, deep as velvet midnight
Unhitching my straight shoulders in welcome

Intuitive capers deem the map we pursue
Distracting his focus, nibbled neck purrs renew
Disarming him in after dinner mint whispers
While I learn to lean a little farther on his side

When we cling, the walls should moan
Such frosting dessert shared on shiver two-tone
Leaning forward to listen, as we plan paradise
Nervous gestures grow glisten as the rain pats

Building heartedly home that we want it to be
Through the fabric of time, velvet feelings set free
In a recipe scant shall the sweet moments dawn
May I say, sir…that whipped cream you wear, so good on~

A delightful ouverture to a masterful, sensuous creation!

In particular I really liked:

“silken lilac mists” ;

“....laughter, deep as velvet midnight”

“....after dinner mint whispers”

“Through the fabric of time, velvet feelings set free”

Ah, Kathleen, forgive me, dear,

we have a bakery/restaurant/meeting place/ poets bar
here in our town called Capers...

and a lot of their foodstuffs [not bakery]
deals with the use of capers...

so I had to keep dividing my mind between
capers...and ...capers...

it was a wonderful diversion!
