Oh, now that’s some subtly profound word play and imagery! Every stanza adds another layer of beauty to the scene. Love it!

Thank you.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Thank you, Gus. I’m glad this one met you like that. And your hunger for the next makes me smile. 🙂

This is exact, in that it leads the reader with a daring promise of heat, without scorching their eyes and ears with blatant words. It’s like lingerie verses naked; Make them yearn first, build the hunger.
You accomplished that well.
