Up And Down In This Perspective
Maroon leather couch
Big enough for two
Giggling, both towards the backrest
Our right hands' fingers casually intertwinned
You're shorter than me
but not much - it makes no difference on our left sides
Blanketbedspread ( mmmm spread ) ruffles covering
Skin on skin necks to heels
a left arm's greedy hand doesn't want to sleep
It wants to dream
It wants to touch
Admired much perfection
( that's what its called )
More giggling
Lithe posterior sashaying
Left and right fore and aft
Is up and down in this perspective
Left hand isn't the only thing that's greedy
And doesn't want to go to bed
