Slowly spread
Grandiose
On a bed
Fullest pose
Under glamour
Chiffon and pearl
Heart a’ clamour for
This plain girl
Tho my mind’s eye
Sees Aphrodite
I can’t deny
My passion’s mighty
Biting down
On the fisted glove
A single touch
Is heaven above
This plain girl
Is more than simple
She’s hidden treasure
Under a wimple
My fortitude
Is tinder and clay
That will harden more
When she’s away
She is the dam
I am the boy’s finger
She is the reason
Why I linger

some rhyme seems a bit forced, but I think it's quite witty and well written. not my favorite of yours but a wonderfully simple and sweet ode to love. like a hallmark card (before they started making corny movies)

'She is the dam
I am the boy’s finger'
Gloriously risqué!

Mike, I agree with you about some of the forced rhymes. Comes from years spent writing lyrics. Saccharine-sweetness is not usually my forte. Thanks for reading.
Jennifer, you've done it again. This is my favourite line in the whole piece. Well spotted!
