Sheets Unmade
44 Black satin, 44 China white color my fingers. Tires squealing, fabric tight, You're taste lingers, my mind not right. Mahogany vines sprawled along ivory and muscle, enraptured senses, nails creating lines. intoxicated by softened steel and wine. Don't break the spell, our oxymoron we're venom and spice, savage and nice, king rich, pathos poor. Internal talisman no longer restraining, voodoo confused no more. Unsure words finally released, no prayers or potions, or needed tricks. Closed doors opened, sheets unmade, bones no longer broken by stones and sticks.

Lana_on_Ivory
I am the lion tamer and the snake charmer, To be a plain-Jane goddess and virgin-whore. I play piano in the dark, read in the rain, and remain waiting, always waiting.
