of clay...

my clay before me
so beautiful
one can make love to such as this
with touch from hands alone
and for tools...
all i use are oils...
for start on this work i have before
scented of  Wild Marjoram
i cup a palm in which to catch
all that i need spread
work it slow and deep
into and of this form
far so far from yet complete
ah the lightest sheen
scented to perfection
Lavender i think would be the best
as i dip my hand once more
this heady sense of growth
will awaken this clay
bring it alive
make it breathe
as i find hardened spots
to make supple, lean
my hands of soft leather
strong from the hours i toil in this
not of work but an honor, privilege
i feel to make of clay
this beauty that i seek
as i use my touch to reveal secrets
of this material i will sculpt
Rosewood, and Cardamom next
spread light upon my hands
accent is the key
lightest touch for tease
top to bottom this my new beauty
working every digit clean
citrus orange, sharp, spice
to mold upon the chest
two most perfect breasts
yes this clay so alive
as the tips of each grow beneath
my slow working hands
Lemon Myrtle i will use
to craft and shape the other
gentle tis this oil in glide
soft and supple it makes this clay
vibrant in its glowing scent
and to finish this my work of love
Madagascan Vanilla
just enough to add moisture for
friction would destroy all i have yet made
from softest moans of before
now sleep has come to claim
what was clay of once begun
tis flesh where beauty lays
softest kiss upon her brow
i collect all my tools to leave
satisfied as she sleeps
in dreams for her i have made
