The Land Mines of Love

Stroll through the land mines of love
  Steer clear of a vial of perfume
Swerve 'round a leopard-skin thong
  Blush at the ruby two-lip blooms

Stroll through the land mines of lust
  Remove all your clothes if you must
Your pulse races, palms sweat to death
  Lie down in these pastures
                    ~ Hold onto your breath

Next stanza, which I had to leave out, the leopard took those spots off the thong -- and that teeny-tiny thong was 'barely' visible. lol. Thanks, Tom
