With heart and tongue tied
I made this bed with loving hands
Placing each pillow
Lighting candles to soften the darkness
Crushing rose petals between my palms
Scenting the air with my desire
An offering to you
My bed
my desire
my heart
All yours for the taking


If I don't say it...who will?

Lucky him or her.


I liked this loads. It's concise and sensual, but real tasteful-like, and all that.

Can't go wrong with candles. Just make sure nothing catches fire. Keep one eye open. Or at least your mind. I like this.

Shenachie, Suthern, & Lamar - I do thank you for stoppin by!!!  I'm glad you enjoyed.

Paul - For you a wink, a smile and a "why thank you, kind sir"!  ;0)

Slowly - truer word were never spoken, my friend!  I once caught my Gram's wig on fire in a little incident my family likes to call the "Candle Gate Scandal"... Yeah, not pretty

Oh yes, Candle Gate.  It had all the makings of an epic event - tears, recriminations, wigs.  It was brutal.  Brutal I tell you!
