Striptease

Have you ever watched
The sky undress
Its heavy covered clothes
In a most seductive 
Shy, then braver flamboyant manner

A glow begins to appear
In its sensuous eyes
As long armed fleecy sleaves
Are furtively unlatched

It Takes its time
Like a spiteful temptress
To disrobe its mantle
And appease your pleasure

Then in shocking
If not naughty jesture 
It leaves nothing hidden 
In brilliant light
The sky is blue naked
For your delight
