5 September: dVerse Quadrille #183

Under My Skin

You are under my skin,
when you sleep, when you breathe,
when I press my lips against your skin

You smell of snow, and sliced gingerbread,
slivers of moonlight, and waves of grass

you are strawberries
and earthshine green
and my years in paradise.

  2. Your love-quadrille made me go ‘Ah!’ Marilyn, it’s so tender and sensual. I also started humming ‘I’ve got you under my skin’!
