Passions Hodge Podge

Soft was the approach of whispers
Chilling the sheets
Warming again to the humidity
Cloaked in the dew of prisimed sweets

Reflections of raspberry drizzles
Juices attending tongues
Taste buds of solvent blushes
Kisses in Technicolor...she comes

You there in your chair
Large hands grasping the corduroy
Didgets upon your chin
Thinking...boy oh boy!

A woman...
Upon the inside lids
Her flavor
Woman-woman...she lives

Inside the man
The question lies
Give to she and breath the smile
Whisper shut before it dies

She the one
Who questions him
Tawdry thoughts
Bawdy whims

He this man ...a storied tower
Learned scholar.. with rolled sleeves
Answers ..posers ... hooks all worded
Usurp her challenge....feel the power.
