Thy key, I sayeth in storm’s clash or rend from hinge thine oaken door. As ivory jewels clench in gnash and famished eyes hunger of more. Little lock, hear the sing of key in entry Let oak door swing within to me Hear the scattered fall of pearls and gold Someone’s fingers to find rent silk in history Before thee lies anew one’s path from fingers trace in swirling trance for souls of twain there boils a stew in wait one chime, one kiss perchance. I hear him cry out from the longest ride Yet he’ll not give o’er to Morpheus’ side gathers to him his bride in trusted soul who gives up her lips as his fingers guide Till honey lies thy ruby lips of dew and suckle on the vine a strand of pearls shall grace thy hips for I art thine of dreams recline. “Dear Lord,” these, my whispered moans enchant “I’m yours for want,” for I shall take the dance and he in solemn touch garlands mine full bellied hips with pearls of romance, to bind. |

Lush and sensual and elegant -- very well done. An excellent blend. ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
