Black Tie

Fascination entwined within my fingers
The trails that luster made still lingers
To smile the knotted throat of ingenuity
Light the spark of insightful gratuity
Tailored to chest, a cut close revival of sin
Fitted to form, dark and light compliment to the hem
Copious distinction smoothed to my touch
On discovery’s palette swept of color and clutch
A litigious journey aroused into speech
Discord of bows left in baubles beseech
Cross over salutations
Loop under gravitational pull
Of the man, figures grand, stature full
Hold the French doors aloft, to allow breezes soft
While we waltz in bare feet on the beach

I have always said the beach is the best dance floor around and you give credibility to that thought.  As always a delight to read.

ThisDiamond,

You write as I remember, touching, and with your words flowing. The beach, great place for a dance...
