Swim?

The little
pool ripples,
bare breasted,
teasing the
sunshine

and

you read me,
your quiet
smile more
welcoming
than
       she

Ed, you are becoming quite the romantic writer, you know.
I remember that I read in a comment of yours right after you came here that it was hard for you
to let your feelings out in the romantic poems......
I sure am glad that it got easier!!  
Hugs, my friend

From a most incredible image that shares relaxation with the reader... to a most tender expression of connection... this is just beautiful! *S* Excellent work! *S*
