Four-Post Bed

T                                                                               C
O                                                                              O

            as are the satiny sheets;         gossamer 
            bright veil         overcomes the four-post
            bed, where       your openness envelops
            the goose down pillows.        i avoid their
            feathery touch to lie      my ringlets upon
            your handsome chest.    the steady beat
            grows stronger...peaks.       we both, like
            passionate-wine….      like the twilight or
            sunrise sky,       transformed from vanilla
            to plum.       the warmth reddens our hair
            to Viking-strength,        thrusts like waves,
            the rapturous   ebb and flow   sea - down,
            down to our feet. This duo -    a waterbed,
            two currents of a tantalizing   hot tsunami.
            hibiscus lips,        likewise   slide and light
            disappears as eyelids shut tight    in moan.
            afterward    serpentine struggle remains in
            the volcanic ember of wrinkled sheets and

Wow, it's so fancy that I'm speechless. It's a bit pity html tags are not available here to shape it perfectly. On the other hand, a little, hm, rumpledness(?) is appropriate here)

A very creative piece Kim, but very soon you'll have the motion of the ocean for real. Love the line Viking strength, they were certainly a force to be reckoned with. Tom.
