brine

Legs splayed aboard a clipper

You taught me knots and tender things

 

Of soft shackled edwards

Of stevedore and pile

 

How to kiss and pine

And long for the dark

 

Among the cardamom and spices

The fog of discovery

 

The thick scent of new lands

The nidorous smell of life at sea

The fragrance of your cunt

 

We spoke of rum and exploration

Of chocolate and brine

 

Those days at sea

Seemed endless

thanks mate. i was cooking a curry at the time so my senses were already on tune. yeah, the word cunt. it took me ages to decide on it but it was the word that fit best. its amazing how delicate and sensual the word can be if used properly.

Such a gorgeous spread of the senses in this Stu - a wonderfully evocative piece, and a loving use of 'cunt' (one of my favourite words ever).

Lush!
