A beautiful man is hard made
Of the seas in mirror of the sky
Such that gentle sounds command his footsteps

Stunning does he shape the stars
In strong hands, climbing and clawing at the moon
Reasoning in fact, the ambitions of prowess and cool

That a woman would curl close beside him
Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him
Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve

His luster is her own regard
To beat within the spring of early morning
Her eyes revive and stir his shores to madness

As daybreak gleams upon his body
She recalls the muscle tone and smiles the sun
Aware of every shimmer shone and new, and shades her eyes
To see

I adore your poetry, Kathleen.
It is beyond beautiful, and so much more.

“That a woman would curl close beside him
Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him
Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve”
.

What man could resist such a woman?  
This writing, your words, carve “LOVE” in that summer’s shade tree in the memories of so long ago.  Youth, a seemingly endless time, an unbreakable bond between a young man and young woman, and so picturesque.  This one, as so many of your writings, brings such warmth, and has so much depth.  This is a beauty.  A Verb From Your Heart.

TD

Your title really caught me with delight, then the whole poem was filled with the way it is to love a man, just so.

TD,
  When reading this sensual poem, images flashed by suggesting a novel... Hm.  I wonder, have you ever attempted one?  

Very pretty!

"That a woman would curl close beside him
Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him
Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve"

Webster couldn't have said it better...

Beauty in words.
