A fabric of bamboo
Delicately suspended
Like a floating stillness
But assuredly
Of potent animation
Her face intimates
The underlying cause
A heightened state
The sensual dimension
Into which a heart could journey
Seeking connection
Possibly perfection
This is her
This is her
Is this her
The depth of those dark pools
Their inscrutability entrapping
Desire overcomes
Desire is all
A promise of treasure
The invitation of her mouth
Held from striking
Awaiting yours
To furnish as sacrifice
A soul in contortion
This is her
This is her
Is this her
