The Happy Lovers by Jean-Honore Fragonard
Imagine a dalliance dappled
in auras of amber moon,
and silver-starred heavens.
An indigo blue-black bliss
of ocean occluded by nighttime,
while wave tips ride in rippled
rows like threads of nacreous
jewels. Listening to sensual
susurrations, as they slip
away into silken slumber.
