Have You Ever..... Poem by Josephine Dunn

Have you ever danced naked
Except for you socks
In your sitting room
With the doors unlocked?
Have you ever lain
In front of a blazing fire
And made passionate love
To your heart’s desire?
Have you ever rolled
On a goatskin rug
Till the strings of your heart
Give an almighty tug?
Have you ever made love
All the hours of the night
Till the stuff of your dreams
Grows wings and takes flight?
Have you ever sat held
In the tightest embrace
That quickens your pulse
And makes your blood race
In veins that are pounding
Inside your head
Where a tune keeps on playing
As he takes you to bed
And the words she is starting to sing
Describe just what you feel –
Oh, your love is king.
