Praise her eyes sparkling blue like the finest sapphires on the wealthiest of rings. Seductively gazing at me, looking deeply within mine. Praise her ears pierced, one with diamond the other a gold hoop, selfishly stealing from the symmetry of it all. Praise her lips, pursed and passionate. So irresisubly kissable, soft, delicate and peaceful. Praise her teeth, white and straight like soldiers of pearl working together as one, a perfect team. Praise her tongue, wet and wildly moving, probing like an explorer in a new land. Christopher B.
