This Art of Womanhood by Michael Auguste In beauty's rest, she lies with pillows 'bout her form This perfect breath of loveliness in silken gown, translucent His eyes drawn to curves and sigh of breast, the supple blush that's soft revealed And there in sleep the hair about her flows with hints of gold, as moon through window lights upon each strand This art of womanhood, this maiden fair that so enslaves the hearts of men And dare he not disturb this moment's peace, as he bends forth to place his lips, to taste her young and tender cheek He hears each breath and longs to drown in her embrace, to drink her kiss, to breathe her hair, again to gaze upon her face Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Hello Michael... This is so beautiful, it has a ethereal feel to it, and I appreciate the true art that you put into it. Your work only gets better, Michael! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Michael~ Such softly-fallen phrases to reach the object of such admiration. Very tender, Michael. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Michael, this is soft and sensuous and utterly stunning. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Michael, such a sensual, savoury vignette...quite tenderly inspiring, to my way of thinking. Just lovely, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Michael--lovely, and softly sensual, except for the breathing I would have thought perhaps you were gazing at a painting. |

Michael - As Ronald Reagan would say, "Well, now, there you go again." You're letting all these wonderful women know that they can conquer us even in their sleep. You've also let on that we men often lay next to them in the late evening hours just watching them sleep as we fall deeper and deeper under their spell. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN YOU GIVE THEM ALL THIS POWER!!!! As for your poem - absolutely terrific! Right on the mark. |

I'm not very good at free verse...I hope I was able to pull it off somehow without sounding too bumbling. Thank you. Kethry, Wow...thank you for the "utterly stunning." That was nice to hear. Mona, Your words are most appreciated...thank you. James, I'm glad to see you here and thank you for the nice remarks. Liz, Thank you for the "exquisite." Coming from someone with your wonderful gift that truly means a lot to me. ~Michael~ Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Paula, Thank you. Your comments are always so nice. Martie, In a very real sense, the man in this poem is looking at a painting, because I tend to view women as works of art. Thank you for the sweet words. LngJhnAg, Hey, I am deep under their spell already...aren't all men? Thanks Kathleen, Thank you for the "double wow's." That's so nice to hear. ~Michael~ Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |
