delicately into her slumbering bosom&lt;br /&gt;and his moist breath trickled&lt;br /&gt;along her glistening, gliding chest wall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he wrapped his raw and trembling pride&lt;br /&gt;in the mist of her gauzy scent&lt;br /&gt;which rose sluggishly&lt;br /&gt;from her slumbering bosom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tendrils of her breath stroked his tender scalp,&lt;br /&gt;bleeding hunger into his very core&lt;br /&gt;a hunger for her - sleeping Muse&lt;br /&gt;with the throat of a flower&lt;/div&gt;
