THE ADVENTURE, HER

Eyes
Deep, shimmering pools
Drowning fevered fools

Voice
Feigning tenderness, tragic
Whispered, lilting magic

Scent
Je Reviens enchanting
Left shamelessly panting

Hair
Bouncing raven tresses
Velvety elucidated guesses

Smile
Sparkling white gradients
Breath-stealing bright radiance

Lips
Succulent raspberry fruit
Passion's delicious route

Shape
Form-filling voluptuous esses
Curvaceously exploiting dresses

Skin
Satiny cappuccino wrapping
Exploring fingers, mapping

Taste
Tippy-top to feet
Nectarous, tangy, sweet

Whole Package
Symmetry imperfectly perfected
Entirely painstakingly inspected

Plan
Moonlight eventide, upended
Enjoyment, dishonorably intended

Result
Personal intentions, punted
"Hunter" becomes "Hunted"

Afterglow
Her sensual surprise =
My satiated eyes.
