a huge moon
lighting up the night
can see the spiders’ web
in the scrawny bush
come then, ‘neath the tree
I’ve a blanket
and we are safe here
you shall draw the thorn
from its discontent
O this lovely, lovely night
you are my frankincense
come, we are hidden
even from the stars of the night
kiss my parted lips
draw from them my ponderous ache
direct my mouth to your
oh so ample bosom . . . oh
waste not this night
this so sensuous night
savor me
I will taste you
together, tonight
we shall find pleasures’ core

Oh how the taste of wine is making you wax eloquent and romantic..sleep tight don't let the bugs bite you, er the thorns on your bed of roses.

Ah, jjote, many thanks for your astute comments . . . And yes, of course the wine will, and does, wax eloquent at times.
