Triolet de la Petite Mort

entry picture

I know the places to caress

and kiss you to your little death

I'll slip my hand inside your dress

I know the places to caress

Let me alleviate your stress

until you pulse and catch your breath

I know the places to caress

and kiss you to your little death.

Thank you John also for your lovely comments on my ghazal. x

Are you absolutely sure about that Win?
Sounds like an irrisistible invitation John - though you struggle with erotic, you do saucy very well :)) x
Will we now see a wave of triolets sweeping across WOL I wonder?
