Orchid

Soft as warm rain Drenching pale orchids, Onto your breasts Cascades velvet hair While flesh you have bared And pert, anxious visage Lend warmth to this night Of candlelight flicker; Your eyes, with coy glint, Peer up, acquiesce: Lips quiver, commune, Our prelude to love, A delicate orchid Drenched softly by rain.

Oh I love writing with a twist to draw the reader in then write something totally different to what is expected - my poem 'desire' is an example lol:-) hugs Jan xx
