Oh, my fingertips touch your mound,
There's magic there, I know it's true,
I'm feverish from that I've found,
You look and smile as if on cue.

My fingertips upon your lips,
Your sigh a wondrous thing to hear,
And from your mouth pure nectar drips,
With your eyes you beckon me near.

I sit close for it is chilly,
Perfume rich as strawberry crème,
Why no, that won't gild the lily,
A wondrous dream just as it seems.

Thank you, Victoria. I'm brave I guess by posting a non-challenge poem.

You are lucky you inspire yourself...you don't need challenges.

I kinda feel out of place, it seems the Blue Room has been swamped with challenges. Whatever! No biggie.

Ah, JL, thank you my friend, and that was a goodie about "no stinking challenge," and of course I know where the original phrase came from.
