Embellish my body
Ever so slowly
With your fingertip
As we lounge naked
By the gelid water
And you mumble softly
Around a mouthful
Of strawberries
Ripe and luscious
Fresh out of the basket
Set by the side
Of the slope's incline.
Slow down
Enjoy the stolen moment
As the apparition
Of past delights
Makes an elite appearance
And I wickedly detain you
From going back to work
With the charms learned
From years
Of southern belle ancestors
Who taught us well
The inclusion of
Stolen delights
