She wore her finest lichen lace
With an inlaid ebony filligre
At her décolletage
Sandalwood scent invitations from her everyplace

He pondered her pleasing possibilities
Under his knowing hands
And cutting edge
He whetted at her intricacies

Driftwood held her ground and his gaze
Soaking in the whetting
Of his stare
Blowing smoke rings in a daze

She was rooted in place
Her burning desire
Enflamed
Glowed radiant on her face

He engraved himself into her moss green eyes
As he came toward her
He was felled by her hollow
So deeply ingrained with denials and lies

you just get better and better at these...
and I enjoy them...

I see you use whetted twice, and might think of substituting another word for the second use..

I did that intentionally because that was what she was soaking in. I rarely ever repeat words...

Wonderful imagery and expectations. You conjure up the most pleasing, but unorthodox words as you wander through your scenes.
