Luscious…

The maiden became the moon
lusciously ripe and full
her orbs spilt out of their confines

dark skin shiny, inviting and captivating

Intoxicating scents of the flower bushes
mingled with her fragrance of coconut and jasmine
filtering through the dark waves of night

causing him to pause at the mere sight

Bangles jingle as she dances bare feet
on the dewy grass of the valley
exultant and at ease with herself

undulating hips moved to her rhythm

Waist beads nestled low flashed with every step
the stirring in his loins as impure as his thoughts
and to have her as his own

perhaps, the greatest desire of his life.
