Slowly spread
Grandiose
On a bed
Fullest pose
Under glamour
Chiffon and pearl
Heart a’ clamour for
This plain girl
Tho my mind’s eye
Sees Aphrodite
I can’t deny
My passion’s mighty

Biting down
On the fisted glove
A single touch
Is heaven above
This plain girl
Is more than simple
She’s hidden treasure
Under a wimple
My fortitude
Is tinder and clay
That will harden more
When she’s away

She is the dam
I am the boy’s finger
She is the reason
Why I linger

Mike, I agree with you about some of the forced rhymes. Comes from years spent writing lyrics. Saccharine-sweetness is not usually my forte. Thanks for reading. Jennifer, you've done it again. This is my favourite line in the whole piece. Well spotted!
