Spooning With Parched Palms

SPOONING WITH PARCHED PALMS

a banquet of butterflies flutter ~
    by her seaswept hair so bonnie. ~

sunshine and freckles fly free from the sky, ~
     illuminating blue eyes, ~
        dotting her suntanned skin. ~

a sailboat serenely knocks against the chiseled shore. ~
   tartan cloth passionately charmed with cheese and wine. ~
pink blushing beach, a twinkle in his smile wants more. ~
   his teeth bright as teeming waves of love’s moon shine. ~

picnic at full thrust ~
    naked footprints rake through sand ~
         soft music spellbound ~
            chantilly lips on blitzed neck ~
               seaside spooning with parched palms ~

The imagery! The meter! The cadence! The poetress has truly outdone herself, and now I have to.....run and take my shower. Full thrust. Indeed!
