Nighttime Musings

Through the louvered window The moonlight slips in furtively Barring her flawless suntanned skin Musky fragrance pervades the air Stirring the mind with anticipation Mellow sensual intoxication. -------------------------------- Contest: Night time Musings Sponsor: FJ Thomas

Very vivid and sensual. I like how you perceive moonlight "slipping in", almost like a thief, and that your musings allude to something more ... much enjoyed.
