Soft Shoulder Sundown Evening cools the summer heat from satin skin Lighting the underside of clouds in pink and blue gray swathe Leaving lingered kiss upon the hidden arch of frolic and press Still draped in rose tone sighs, down slips sparkle, thrill complies Small breaths raise and build to glow inhaled joy Letting down the reddened globe, in incremental tease Leaving damp the grass, in misty mourning of sight and sound Elbow flexed to offer a mirror white, witness for a turning page Feather bed for words left written in silent cleft, heart to heart Though oiled hands massage time across tendon tight explanations Waiting the pause of eager night to succumb, as whispered way And all about the bare necessities of breathing; comes the calm By now, in sweet departure of the tongue My words write their own beginning, with strokes of affection Where home remains; your picture held close to my soul Copyright Kkh 8/20/09 |

This is so incredibly sensual in its soft beauty here. You never cease to amaze and entertain us with your talent. This was my favorite line: Small breaths raise and build to glow inhaled joy But then, its a razor thin margin between all the lines for my favorite one. |

TD, whenever I think that it would be virtually impossible for your writing to get any better ~ it does! You are an amazing poetess! ~ and this is another  It's curious, but with each new poem of yours, I say to myself, now this is my new favourite of hers!   EA |
