Velvet Daydreams


poised in pearls
and purple pleasure
i slip into pink velvet

enveloped in pillow talk
and a heady perfume
that smells like patchouli
but tastes like bosc pears
or raspberry pastries
that flake and fall
onto my pretty pastels

as I lie awake
tracing printed patterns
the lace left on my skin
I’m illuminated
by a warm
butterscotch glow
from a nearby lamp who
casts her crown

upon my
decorative daydreams
