Her gaze, beneath perfect brows, those
which said yes, no...perhaps maybe to
an unsuspecting stranger.

Centuries of war had been waged to
see beyond the sheen of darkened eyes.
Beyond the lace that covered swells of
seas and shoals of waters that drenched
a man’s thirst in salt...bitter brine before
the sweetness of lips overcame.

~

A tune she sang of love, of wars and
life or death.  Of mountains that skirted
rocky shores...all this from warmest
breath.

She called them all,   those manly men,
of wars and boats in sail....Of gallant
rides upon the green...in wait of those
that wail.

They came to her, in lusting leer, in
search the sins of men.   They wished
to stroke her silky thighs, they hungered
once again..

For in the night when darkness came
and stirred the fires of them.  She
walked alone, her hair aflame, in
wait their every whim.

And when the dawn did crease the skies
and turned it all to gold....she played
the pawn and heard their cries....those
warriors then once bold.

Till men no longer live or tell a passion’s tale
....a woman knows  to lead them on a winding trail...

....a woman knows to lead them on a winding trail... Very much liked the poem and especially that last line.
