She's the most beautiful woman In the room I lick the air as she passes Rife with perfume and subtle ******* Languidly, in soft sultry motions She moves like a cheetah With poise and deliberation Like nickelodeon 1920 She goes about in flickering frames Never quite as she was the moment before--- now seductive now demure now flirtatious now unsure
She moves effortlessly through myriad poses of amorous delight All eyes stealing a lecherous glance without exactly looking
I feel the radiant fire Of her scarlet bodice gown A sweeping, flowing train Following at her heels A circle of pearls around her Long, delicate neck Borrowing their radiance from hers
Her hair a flaxen crown of glory Tickling her bare shoulders Like a rippling veil Her eyes, lustrous azure Meeting mine for an infinite instant Speaking an unspoken nexus Of shared pasts and an undefined future Sturdy haunches taut and tenacious Legs treacherous and long Leading me into a liaison With flowers and blood
Take me then, scarlet strumpet To moments of rapture and regret To nights that help us to forget That the time is of transient embrace A defined time and propitious place To be repeated under a different sun Where you lay waiting Sprawled beneath an indifferent sky The absent touch of your paramour Reflecting in your eye.
