Whispers of Mystery

Flutters…
         the butterflies, a parachute of rainbow light
             leaping from her pulse, her blond hair buoyant
          heavenly honeysuckle wafting, immersing him
the daub of a fresh strawberry on her lips

Whispers of mystery,
             in the dank closet, a couple strands.
               a lovely blossom under her précieux top
             perchance a predicament?

Happenstance, he thought happily
              had bound two hearts, a pair of bodacious lips.
                  sinks his knees into the mire, they shake
               no Virgin Mary in his mirror, mere...folly!

Well done Kim, surprising how many top winners are women, writing Bardenesque style maybe easier for the ladies, who knew? Congrats on a fine win!
