She Is the Liquid Night

She is the liquid night The fluid obsidian chalice She engulfs me Her breath is frangipani It is the air I breathe She permeates me In her starlit vision In her saltiness She inspires me She is in lahara The gifts she bares She subdues me Her laughter is gold It is the sunlit day She uncovers me In her swaying presence In her sand strewn hair She desires me She is the fallow earth The orgasmic humus bed She gestates me Her touch is dewpoint It wets my thirst She precipitates me In her silken sweat In her pounding pulse She receives me Contest: Limerence theme

Very nice. Very fluid. Very sensual. You generate a lot of heat with your carefully chosen words. Well done.

Exotic, sensuous beautifully crafted. If this isn't in the top two I'll be hugely surprised and aghast. A terrific write, Michael. Regards, Viv
