Analysis of Your Favourite Dress
With a smile I watch you dance with such ease,
your favourite dress flutters past my pleas,
the music is light as we catch hold of the night,
there's romance on the path of the arrow's flight.
Scenes are suspended tastefully in love's colours,
I delve into the print of the delicate flowers,
the rhythms of splendour, they quickly surrender
as your smile is unfastened from your figure's censor.
The wine is chilled and awaits us after our storm,
but for now we explore each other's naked form,
there is laughter and kisses, many near misses,
as our dreams spin the passions inside tender wishes.
