supple velvet

you managed
to capture that sliver of cream
that sits on the sash across the waist of the sky
and i'm sure she does not mind you borrowing it
it goes well
with the cinnamon laden in your eyes
and while i've spoken at length
about the mysteries twinkling in your smile
the glow that makes me curious
is that which emanates
from the delicate sculpture of your thighs
they dictate a walk that's regal
and only the trusted know what secrets they hide
mysteries of supple velvet
made vivid by you
no wonder you make cotton sheets sigh.
