frantic silky verbena bumpy sprint sparingly backwards ... anyone?


The frantic bustle of days long gone
echo deep in this silky darkness
while lost so deep in memory.
I remember the verbena in bloom
and you trailing a pleasant blossom  
so its petals assumed finger tips
to travel a bumpy course along my spine,
sprint over my shoulder blades,
then to touch lightly, sparingly, backwards,
halting only the moments you kissed
with burning caress
each space between my ribs
with long drawn lines.
You said I blushed
a beautiful fuchsia
and when I missinterpreted
you blushed yourself a beautiful
deep pink border on purple tan.
You, the verbena and a slow day
to lie and simmer in the sun.
I had strange thought then,
which you never knew,
of what it must be like
a blueberry pancake
turning lightly brown
then done.
