He said

Dove

Let me cup your feathers

In my palm

Cajole your flickering heart

Until you coo

 

He said

Lie warm within my arm

Plump as a lamb,

Caress the curls of your astrakhan

 

He said

Let me ease within

Until pearls come

 

She

Simply formed her body

To a smile

And said

Sweet nothing

Fabbo...and brill. Yes, the writer's block seems to have vanished....replaced with a little gem of a poem. All my favourite characteristics. Not a word wasted, subtle internal rhymes (the 'curls/pearls' link is neat and...sensuous)

Thanks.

:-)
