in my solitude
i reach for your skin;
here, you can
touch your tongue to mine,
a nightcap.
your crown slips from your hair,
silver,
muted into unimportance
and i--
i would shadow your feet for eternity
if you promised invasion.
Author notes
someone has 'dragon' as a sobriquet
--i adjusted as such.
hope you like it.

This piece is short, but very lushious and has a feeling of temptation.
Gives the reader very sensual images from a small use of words.
Good write.
