"decorated in perfume"

No likes yet ♦

curve of subtle hip
like the throat of a lily
in her own garden

soft, sensual palms
sensitive as a windchime
or strings of a harp

cupped little hallow
finger the crevice with musk
it moves when she speaks

silky line of nape
sweep her thick mane to the side
a private curtain

slope of small of back
like a smooth desert sand dune
awaiting cool rains

feet beneath her silks
like walking bowls of service
lotus petals fall

knees knelt in symbol
decorated in perfume
rise in jewelled fire
