In the midst of a pearl grey dawn

Earlier PoemsPoetry

And when I left you beneath cool cotton
sheets adored a moment soft, slow and
sensual born in the midst of a pearl grey
dawn. The shivers down my spine and
breath of muddled summer upon roses
told me everything I needed to know.

    The shivers down my spine and
    breath of muddled summer upon roses
    told me everything I needed to know.

    Fair intuition may save the day for young girls who may be overwhelmed!

    I love the imagery and internal rhyme of the lines:
    ‘…adored a moment soft, slow and
    sensual born in the midst of a pearl grey
    dawn’..
    True romance, Sanaa!

    Those shivers may need more though, more than the writer wants.
