Sensuality I

Pure essence
fills the room.
Orchard incense -
Lemon, Orange -
citrus flavours looms.
Lot, will ardour hinge.

Symphonic shadow
Silent song - sunray
origami.
Oral - oomfah
is intermezzo.
Come-commala.
Fluidity
can crescendo.

Gentle wind whispers
through seamless silk curtains.
Candlelit shimmers.
Dance graceful gold glimmers.
Faery-dust float fountains,
While darkness, it simpers.

The sheer musicality of this

The sheer musicality of this piece appeals so much my Welsh soul [sorry for the slight melodrama] ... certainly it is well-named, the sensuality is palpable throughout. Clever use of a variety of sound effects making it a very pleasurable read-aloud experience. Mike "not all matterings of mind equal one violet" ~ e e cummings ~
