I bathed you in a pool
of roses..
I stroked your hair with
a brush made of lion's
mane..
A black panther reclined
on a marble porch gazed
intently into the night
sky..
You cupped your hands as
I filled them with sweet
wine placing two grapes
that floated like mysterious
planets between your fingers..
You gathered up the planets
within your ravishing lips
and heaven kissed our
souls..
From the crown of your head
to the silky softness of
your delicate feet I soothed
with ancient oils from the
far east..
I then picked up your naked
body and laid you down on
a blanket of white roses..
Shooting stars accentuated
the night sky..
And the panther gazed on~
