Pearls

"The pearl is the daughter of the Moon and the common sense." Zosimos of Panopolis

The days of yore these beautiful large pearls 
bathed in the salty pleasure of the ocean.
They’re now in the box in which the girl's
thin fingers bath and their harmonic motion
arouses me. Oh, lightning-fast exposure!
Oh, pearls of pleasure on your belly!.. Say
to me, how do you keep such a composure
to ask me in due time to slip away?

A very beautifully sensuous piece Kurt. I really loved your line "bathed in the salty pleasure of the ocean." : )

Now this is Sensuality, 'Exhibit A!' Poor Sister Pornography will never comprehend it. Gorgeous! :) gw

This one was too mature for me; the sensuality oozed out of it and grabbed me quickly and heartily! Wow!

A beauty of a poem! The use of pearls and sensuality. And in the end common sense slips away. Nicely done.
