dVerse Poets Poetics

“Black Velvet” playing on the radio

a sensual song

A voluptuous woman dressed in a revealing black velvet gown languishing on a red silk chaise lounge

Her lover beside her

his hands slide seductively along the dark fabric

each ripple is flattened by his palm

Moaning quietly she anticipates his touch

He straightens his hand

pressing deeply in the crevices of black

The touch is relentless and she stifles words she will regret

He knows this while his arm encircles her

lifting her back off the red

Bringing her to him, tightly

He feels the sensual fabric against his chest and smooths the skirt

Feeling his arms surround her, she gasps at his deep kiss.

The seduction almost complete as the song ends.
