~Flourish

wrap me slowly in your bliss

         seize my breath to new heights

sway with me in melodic thunder

     enfold my delectation and make it soar

plant honey'd kisses all over my body

    i melt under the weight of your rush

 flowery flourish within our flush

         nectar's sweetness flowing

bend me like the wind ravish'd 

       my petals unfurl at your fever'd touch

dreamily a'waiting your rising dawn,

        surrendering in this dewdrop'd dance

The imagery of a flower is strong here, coupled with the metaphors of intimacy and love. I think your word choice is wonderful. You really know how to bring out the gentle ebb and flow of tone. This has a kind of sing-song quality, which I think is lovely. Again, I love the elegance of the dropped "ed" to " 'd", which harkens back to the older romantic days of poetic verse. Thank you for sharing this!
