Love Poem: Something New

Something New

Oh, how perfectly you drape
        Swaths of moonlite on your shape
            Now you've chosen its soft blue
    For this night of something ... new

You've decided we're too single
        That we need fresh ways to mingle
            So, if you'll grant me the dative
    Methinks we should get creative

I'm hoping these night sweats'll
        Find our limbs wound to a pretzel
            You and I, one limber body
    Twisted close, and rather knotty

Could it be, we're going too far
        With this night of karma sutra?
            Still, the shapes have just begun
    And we're having so much fun

Though I think our best positions
        Come between, in the transitions
            For like ALL in life we savor ...
    It's the tasting ... not the flavor.
