Proximity of Choice
The night air crisply flows
Brushing past my sill with a caress
The final blooms of the magnolia's
Upon her skin, fragrantly confess
Autumn’s wildflowers
Sit upon the boudoir ledge
Handpicked this morning
To their beauty she makes her
pledge
Chiffon sheers move
With a sultry waltz in the breeze
Moonlight glows as a flickering candle
gliding across the wall as if on a
trapeze
Her lover, submerged in the elements of her boudoir
Is mesmerized and aroused by its sights and smells
He finds great pleasure where femininity dwells
Scented perfume causes his love to swell
The flickers cease to be
Their sighs belong
To the rhythms that
Waltzed upon the Wall
