Limbs Akimbo
A shawl of beaded fringes splayed;
Upon her soft, white, skin;
Beneath a swirl of open lace;
Breasts crested, capped within.
Her hair was full of candlelight,
the flames dance in her eyes.
And as her gartered thighs did part,
she heard her lover sigh.
Between clefts as white as moon rise,
and curls as black as night.
A lance was raised a parting phaze,
past twin orbs of delight.
Their limbs akimbo, heart and tide,
of teeth and talon marked,
On they rode with nary a fright
two lovers dancing in the dark.
