this stunning woman
her beauty more than features
her entire essence
-----
seeker of beauty
sunrises sunsets and you
endless images
-----
down to earth woman
as natural as flowers
in fields of passion
------
alone she dances
ancient movements hip and thigh
mimicking her flames
-----
mother to daughter
the ancient dance remembered
from eve's temptation
-----
somewhere a number
how often you've inspired me
but it keeps changing
-----
naughty fingers play
tiny kisses on my chest
breath a warm caress
-----
i doubt she exists
woman passionate as i
who loves poetry
-----
born with an old soul
i found my home in nature
old books and poems
-----
just to make you smile
that could be enough for me
the thought makes me smile
-----
like words on vellum
i read her by candlelight
spied on her beauty
-----
she loves the whole storm
thunder shakes her lightning burns
the warm rain falling
-----
poet's lingerie
negligee of naughty words
easily seen through
-----
a flower herself
a darker beauty among
many lesser blooms
-----
i'll always recall
treasure i can never have
in every poem
-----
how can she be here
at infinity's climax
trembling at its edge
-----
burning hot within
hotter still beneath his gaze
aflame at his touch
-----
if i accept love
i condone all its aspects
honestly expressed
-----
you offer yourself
not surrender but submission
to love's protector
-----
completely serving
her loving heart's protector
she rewards them both
-----
inside a stirring
a burgeoning of desire
souls seek each other
------
i know you posed nude
once before you and i met
i want that painting
-----
how i wish to say
all the things i cannot say
things you should not know
-----
you don't think you are
perhaps not aware at all
that you're on my mind
-----
you are love poison
and yet i long to drink you
writhe in your embrace
-----
they taught me be strong
that's where all the cracks came from
being strong for years
