Red Velvet And Royal Jelly

Crimson velvet, shaded toward cherry
so thick the touch of your fingers
leave marks
a guilty trail where fingers have walked
and meandered and
lips have brushed aside a strap
to reach a pale and peaches shoulder...
I am no queen bee...
so why did you make
royal jelly with me?
