Prompt: small pleasures
SMALL EXTRAVAGANT PLEASURES
spring buds on meagre disheveled larch rosy-hued beside dry brown cones loyal dead-seeming wood fulfills loving promise
hot chocolate intense smooth mellow sweetness licked sucked slow melting warms palate throat chest mollifies mood aloe for soul
hot shower splashes streams down face shoulders breasts belly thighs lapping it up every inch of skin awake luscious liquid wrap
fireplace flames shooting up chunks of wood aglow sparks fiery dots rise pinecones crackle smoky smell wafting outbreath reignites fire
beloved voice enveloping sonorous resonates through hollow dome of chest pleasurable goosebumps moist eyes smile
hand on forehead cool reassuring back home in touch with body self precious moment’s reunion finder’s fee of joy toes wriggle glee
snatched from claws of death this mammal packed with light-software necessity disbelief hunger bewilderment unearned bliss surprise sun on skin what’s left to do be
red robin sings silver pearls scintillate breath stops holds still eyes closed oasis mouth forehead chest open every pore rapt drinks luminous joy
Living Lives 
Such a joyful, sensuous, image-filled ride
