under sighing bows of bending palm fingers over by the sun fish fountain musical where shimmer plays with the shadow strums and waits for gold shifts in it's whispering she steps jaunty along her afternoon of bronze and gold and then those curves somewhere the blues are lingering on glass perhaps the soot man plays his sax songs and the lady of palms sways her sighs then slips into a coveting ocean of jewelry only the echoes of her footsteps linger behind and a kiss of perfume that baits the blind and the gods that dream they are her cellos ______________ daark |

rich.... in the elements of imagery and metaphor.. one could easily hear the sax man playing and smell the perfume she left behind.. enjoyed sir, as always |

"and the gods that dream they are her cellos..." she seems the personification of a dream love. |
