A woman’s mind is guardian of secret passages
Silently, each soft syllable changes its shade on her face
The enchantment of twin entities; dusk and dawn
Sparkle on the surface of her own beach-washed soul

Private moments are invested in disposition of seasons
Keeping summer, an easy does it glow
For him, yes…for him…and for herself
Settling her wings of opal span on degrees of certainty

A woman’s sight is clear, of a delight that’s sheer
Her favorite mirror; but his eyes
Undoubtedly, the scent of lavender steams his achy bones
Her purest treasure just his touch

For what he has, or has not is the mirage of fools
In fact, to hold each other, all of heaven bathes the earth
Slipping down a satin gown, in want of only him
With perfume on her wrists

No takers on challenging this thought.

Nicely done K.  You do have a way of saying
so many things...in a hundred different
ways.

So softly sensual Kathleen.
Happy Birthday sweet lady~
Hugs and best wishes, Nancy.

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

this was enchanting...especially enjoyed this...

Private moments are invested in disposition of seasons
Keeping summer, an easy does it glow
For him, yes…for him…and for herself
Settling her wings of opal span on degrees of certainty

how beautifully woven

Thank you all...for reading this poem, and thank you WW for bringing it up again.  A special favorite of my own, and I'm glad to have shared it here.

Hugs,
TD
