On Sheeis of Silk Endearing is her lovely face A beauty many eyes will trace So pale, yet glowing as a dream Of love that few have ever seen Her silken skin lays on a bed In smoothness of the woven thread She spreads across the downy sheet To feel the plush of every pleat How lovely is she lying there On lovers’ pillow, pale and bare She comes to me on nights like this And lures me with her loveliness In virgin white she glows in ways That spin my head in lover’s gaze So much enchantment to consume This radiance of silver moon She shines her luminescent light Upon my bed in summer night Elizabeth Santos |

How lovely is she lying there On lovers’ pillow, pale and bare She comes to me on nights like this And lures me with her loveliness In virgin white she glows in ways That spin my head in lover’s gaze So much enchantment to consume This radiance of silver moon I couldn't decide which verse I loved most...so here they both are. Enjoyed much! |

Yes it was indeed! No pictures needed for our poetry Elizabeth, it does what it is supposed to do, so beautifully too. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |
