Sultry Smoke

The glide of our fervid breath intermingles, caressing the sultry air. It settles on blush of lavender, vanilla, and musk. As lips contour silence in soft strokes, we smolder in rush of blood. Limbs languish under silk of summer haze, recharging the still of night. Written 6/5/20 for Nette Onclaud's Some Kind of Sensual Contest *45 words
