Her skin was as clear as the wind, The color of the moon, Smelling of budding flowers and ripening fruit. Deep as summer, smelling of fire Dulling the senses causing me to drift into insanity Thick as honey, sweet sweet abandonment Drenching wild rain She lures me with sealskin and jade eyes Promising many nights of pleasure A cup as deep as the ocean Wine aged to perfection And my thawing hands clawed towards her Tiny pearls of water melting off of my skin Into the grass Burgundy delirium And daisies.
