Red Musk Fragrance

As red musk fragrance from the steamed en suite 
escapes to her boudoir
from oil essential jar
a silken nightie trimmed with lace complete 

she slips light-fingered on to flawless skin
then she adjusts the light
soft glowing for the night
with graceful movements lifts the sheets, turns in.

Then on the pillow she lays down her head
relieved to leave behind
the weight of weary mind
the balm of slumber she will seek instead.
