surrender inhibitions to the wind
my enigmatic lover coos
melting sealing wax on envelopes
what does one have to lose
a petal pusher of fine silk
quilting threads once quite bare
a blushing grape, a winery
squeezing all my wicked wares
he’s my tailor and my sailor
my ship and anchor too
I’ll set sail at once upon the sea
his mermaid dame to woo
a passion play of trickery
plunging into deep desires
bathing luxury of wryest wit
and red hot molten fires
be gone the dowdiness of blue
a shade I no longer care to wear
a citrus orange or tangerine
perhaps they’ll stop and stare
my reflection is a shining star
jumping off the pearly moon
gliding across the milky way
whistling a snappy tune
no longer in a sea of glib
a rainbow coat I’ll knit
if I can be your ever last
and you can be my grit
for lovers on a ship set sail
in passions murky waters
we’ll be on course for ever more
creating sons and daughters
