Lying bare on the bed, you present
Yourself like an exquisite Guqing
(The legendary Chinese zither)
Your skin purely snow white
Your flesh soft as summer clouds
Your body warmer than spring
Water, & your smell reminiscent of
The gardenia from early summer
With seven unseen classic strings of feel
Running from your breasts down to your
Bud, you are nature’s stunner instrument
That no other human can play on earth
Like I do, to the heavenly tune of beauty
