Softly Sensual

As I  stared down at the flower in wonder
I could see a pool of water at the bottom
I wished out loud that I was small enough
to be able to dive into its trumpet center

When to my surprise up popped a tiny elf 
that's possible he says to me, just drink this
I swallowed it down it  tasted of wild berries 
then, in a flash I shrank until I was elf size

Standing on the petal's rim I plunged on in
oh the flood of sensation set me tingling
it felt as if I was being caressed by many
hands everywhere as the water stroked me

The heavenly scented water carried me off
to a dream place where lovers dally together
slowly swimming, senses reeling on overload
I startled awake as a raucous bird flew above

Looking back into the flower, I glimpsed the elf
he gave me a cheeky grin and then he vanished 
was I just dreaming? Carried by wishful dreams
I choose to believe it happened just as I told you
