The Nights Perfume

The eyes of a scarlet moon shining bright

illuminates dark shadows in the night

Bare lips taste of a kiss so sweet;

undressed are the lips from hot summers heat~

 

Ivory skin is flushed like rose petals

soft as black velvet as the night settles

The scent of romance emerges like a tear

as desire in the window of night peers~

 

And as the wind rides the stallion of dark

wildflowers wake as stem of moonlight embarks

Ecstasy tears flow down slope of mountains

as afterglow blooms in predawn fountains~

 

And musky essence of the nights perfume

impregnates a sweet insatiable bloom~

I think I need a smoke! Wonderful images. You constantly show the greater vaue we should place on the sensual rather than the crass. This may well be your sexiest piece.

Sorry Rose - my mania led me away from here but Im back.
I loved the image - it reminds me of a song called 'Ride On' - have you ever heard of it? Maybe not...

An insatiable bloom - wow such exotic imagery - a flower that could not be satiated
This is IMHO your most sensual piece on WC.
Your muse serves you well
