She left her underwear
on the wooden mantle
walking the naked tile floor
with her eyes
until the suns deep soil of the ground
that used to come towards her
when she was a small girl
with her fathers hands on her shoulders
and she lost a sense of her heart
for the woman who wanders,
wonders if its possible to relive the past

Is it the soul of a woman
that shines
or is it the wrist of her lips
that curve onto yours
that takes you to a place
they call the fields of Tuscany

The small nuances
the way her hands
can seam a dress together
or put them across your chest
as you lay backside
wide eyed
grinning, like the eastern and western winds deciding to become friends

Maybe its the legs
the way they make a shadow bulk
at the thought of having to follow such long strides

Or the torso
the navels white coastal line,
with that small mole on the left side
vanilla toned,
smooth
lips abound whenever
night shed its hardened heart
her white tee slowly on the floor
lips abound

With pain comes great periods of love
for the love of a woman
comes from the way her hands
move towards yours
for ones eyes could never touch anothers
brush up against ones face
or signal you to that she's content
sighing
gripping, releasing, moaning
with her hands opening and closing
across the middle of your back

For the love of a woman
unwavering
and when it feels just right
you can touch the breasts
grace the laces of her boots
and bend her hair towards
the small backchannels of the river
flowing behind her home
pink underwear
hanging off the edge of her mahogany chest.
