Floreale

Inspired by a photo manipulation by my dear friend Liza Lorraine (and yes, those are her legs in it), I could not fail to share this with my readers. An extraordinarily gifted artist and student, this Brazilian demigoddess indulged her love for the Italian in creating this work and in doing so inspired the latest addition to my Fields of Arbol collection (which she is already a multiple muse to). Thank you, lovely Liza.

Floreale

I should like to feel the smooth heat
of your legs in the dark.
strong and soft and a delight to senses
that are brought out at night.
flesh on flesh they mesh well
with the darkness, drawing me in.
the skin against my hands,
my back, my face, no trace
of fear or shame or blame
for why we are both here.
and you draw me near
with your legs in the dark.
