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.

Another good one Debbie. Very alluring. If I may add some critique, I would say the cadence is a little off. I saw only 2 lines that could help. "Between clefts as white as moon". And "..without a fright. or into the night." Thanks for sharing.
