Artist's Embrace Paint my night with love Make the colors run across my skin Capture my soul on canvas An artist's delightful play of pigments Brush strokes softly linger over my body Effortless as wisps of shadows moving across the room Breathing lightly across my breasts Moonlight streams through the studio skylight Touching my face with an innocent, unintended longing Flickering almost imperceptibly Exaggerating the hunger hidden deep in my heart Our bodies sing intricate chorales of light Faceted bodies pulsing with passion Winding about each other in elaborate rays of celebration Delicately etched against the night’s sky Ocher and amber Saffron and citrine Passions transfigure into colors that never had a name Exquisite fragile elegant ethereal A portrait of our evening's embrace
