Dream-worker 
delves deeply into my dream;

vibrations fondle anticipation
foreplay wakes wide-eyed 
swells of liquid libido quake the rendezvous edge -
a primordial being in his prime
a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body

Your compassion reveals
mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool
for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings

plays,
prances and dances and trances,

Unburdening her of guilt...

Through a glass of bourbon he found her.
Her eyes, Flaming Blue, hiding a glance of Heaven.
Her hair golden like the reflection of an English buttercup, 
Open to the flirtations of the sun.

Overwhelmed by conversation, loss of breath by your sight,

It innocently started with that libation:
that tingling, inebrious, joyful sensation.
My foolish heart acquiesced to the temptation.
An allergy or a genetic mutation
awakened my foolish heart.

I frequently fancied more fluid flirtations,
enjoying elixirs, expressing elation,
investing immensely in intoxication,

Wherefore she locked herself indoors
To block out her aggress.

of a life half-lived,
a life daring to dance on the edge

He sidles up next to you,
so stealthily
It’s like he appeared out of thin air
Then breathlessly,
he gives you a Jimmy Stewart howdy do,
