On Human Bondage

a sea of blonde hair
floating on green Ralph Lauren sheets
gentle curves of outstretched arms
breasts, waist, and hips, down legs
to ankles spread and held tight in leather
a wrap of silk around shy eyes
white velvet skin reflecting
the glow from vanilla candles
a silky triangle obscuring
soft pink lips yielding slowly
to the increasing excitement
a subtle hint of sex in the air
mixed with the vanilla smells
and the red rose by her head
Esteban, the Latin guitar virtuoso
playing soothing preamble
celebrating the beginning
of human bondage
