Courtly Manners

Slowly I pry away the masks,
laces unknotting to my whim,
shifting, parting from side to side,
the bodice unraveling like a
savoured puzzle dotted by
my revolving dalliance with
stockings and garters
until there is more cream
of flesh than silk,
and only her mockery of hawk
remains to hide her from me
in this game of trespass
played out before so many eyes.

    Your poetry is just makes my mind all mushy!

    Even though you don't post that often I always find myself coming to your page from time to time to read, because each time I read your pieces I take something new from it.

    You have a tasteful and creative way of making the reader fall in love with your words.

    This poem is dripping with sensual elegance! Just beautiful!!
