MADE TO MEASURE, MADE FOR PLEASURE

The sublime fit she made of her mouth

was a classic of design

all moods contained within

that moistening cavern

whose inner movements

spiralled into spasms

like the coils of a rope tightening

 

and rainbow dreams flashed

pulsated as tresses, caresses

flowed along the engorging

nape of her neck

into a final death of release

 

and her eyes like beacons

searching for pinpoints

of ecstasy in this, this

most favoured embrace

in spasms of discontinuous grace.

Thanks Stu. I nearly had second thoughts with this, but why not - memory is a great thing. It reminds me of the old muso joke: what's the similarity between lobster thermidore and a blow job? You can't get either at home. You were right about the instrumentation by the way: the pink flute.

Phil: congratulations on POTW first off ! Wonderful and moving (and David's offering). Thanks for the appreciation. I put my all into this, in a manner of speaking. I offer my envy to all who may be thus engaged.
