Laces and ribbons

the sigh of desire
from her lips
the look of lust
in the light of her eyes

the arms outstretch
to welcome him
body soft and giving
sheath to his sword

breasts that feed a future prince
partaken by her needy king
now for him not weaned
as yet, and never will

the gentle joy of the rocking boat
traversing a sea of pleasure
understanding the incessant waves
to ride in ecstatic rhythm

until to the coast of pleasure
they spill upon the porous sand
from him in her the lava bursts
to kill both in tiny deaths

the twilight curtain falls
and night flows to the dawn
the lovers encumbered
sleep yet dance in dreams.
