I wear you like a cherished locket
between the cleavage of my breasts
close to the beating of my heart
I wander nakedly, without you
bathing in fragrant memories
drowning in magnolia bouquet
no longer my ray of sunshine
I am but a porcelain china doll
cascading rivulets of candlelight
and yellow roses in ginger hair
as fiery moonlight drapes a sarong
over the shoulder of a memory
a trellis weaving forget- me- nots
echoes lovingly, our torch song

Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up.

Victoria... I liked this poem very much. It left me speechless.... See, I am still struggling for words...

I enjoyed this for its imagery and soft romantic tone... I could see an overdose of your words might indded turn even the hardnosed into a romantic sort... keep writing them!!!

So beautiful, your words of romance. these lines were most powerful to me:
"as fiery moonlight drapes a sarong
over the shoulder of a memory
a trellis weaving forget- me- nots
echoes lovingly, our torch song"

Perfect. Thanks for more romance in this unromantic life I live.
