Skin Garden #3

These tresses drifting down like grain 'cross skin.
These polished limbs and sloping curves entreat
Not green or gold but colored of sin.
In here, this place I tread, rests fruitful trees.

As I draw near my blood grows fiery fast.
Through clouds of cotton cloth or satin, I
Can spy so softly sinking south this pass.
Enticing scented tulip, red and ripe.

And here, in her, there is a sticky shine
Of sap and sun-stroked syrup so bright.
Our arms enfold and dewy lips entwine
When like leafy vines of one root unite.

In the smooth crevices of your terrain
I find the comfort brought by a hot day's rain.
