Baroque

You complain that my tastes are Baroque,
details complicated by syntax:
a dizzy sensual overload
causing your head to spin.
But you take my words with lips parted,
pupils oscillating with desire:
a heady perfume coming from
a secret place within.
You enjoy the physical reminder that
baroque was once barocca,
portuguese in origin;
the word for misshapen pearl.
