Delicate lips the colour of wild orchids close on my tongue Soft and wet kisses linger like the dew of this early London morning White cotton sheets drowned under the sweat of a hot August evening Ghost smoke from burned out candles hangs on the ceiling Drops of red wine fill the bottom of crystal glasses A dozen red roses lie asleep in a vase of Chinese characters Another world of trinkets waits outside the confines of this bed Her body breathes up and down like the waves of the English Channel Crashing her nakedness over my body Awakening every nerve end that forever seemed dead In the still of the early morning, the clock chimes its hours by Rusted hands pass the floors of this old mansion History buried in the dirt of the back yard Ancient ancestors framed in wooden pictures Black and white, blue and green, the color of her eyes As she sees the day for the first time In the reflection of my vision, hope seems more than a prayer away It is found in the touch of a lover, that no words spoken or written Could ever come close to attaining. |

White cotton sheets drowned under the sweat of a hot August evening Ghost smoke from burned out candles hangs on the ceiling Drops of red wine fill the bottom of crystal glasses A dozen red roses lie asleep in a vase of Chinese characters ~*~ You've brought me to that room. Enjoyed this. I think I'm going to enjoy all of your works. |
