I found your ankles on my pillow,
A bit away I found your knees,
And fading smells of peccadillo
Beyond, way Northwards some degrees.
You rolled, escaping morning’s tickle
Then moaned when finger followed lip,
Your leg asleep, your temper fickle
Inside that cobra’s lashing whip.
I guess you let a bluish crescent
Behold the world around your nose
When slashing teeth and cheeks rubescent
Assailed with doom my vestal toes.
The blanket flailed in raving fury
And hit the floor those miles below
Uncovering a seething houri
Of madness wild in eyes aglow.
I found your head upon my pillow,
And way below I found your knees,
And in between... that peccadillo
And thousands Fahrenheit degrees.

With this poem you brought sun and smiles to me in this misty winter morning day. I knew that you are the master of rhyme, in combination with your imagination which always goes beyond any borders an in my modest opinion the best on this site and this one is not out of exception.
