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.

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.
