The sky is cold down this neck
Of my vulnerable bewitching woman
Damp has touched the fine wood of this place
And warped the time around my building fair

I open the cloth like silk on silk
Drawn on canvas to persuade the eyes of you
To look beneath the years of skin to within
Where candles are lit around my need for you
This painting is of color real

I fear the way the weeping wind takes this tear
Like faith lost and weary of traveling
Takes it from me before you can see
The fine fall of it into my palm opening free

As my wealth of tender hair entraps my face
I see you through me like some dark rain
Unfocused and unsure of place within this art
That I would color into us

oh good grief here we go again...
you guys dont play fair....here I am with no muse and you write like this stirring my mothyness
*sigh* ...
YOUR poetry is ART...you are a master craftsman...and I hang on your every word,
most times holding my breath.

Martie...I just dropped from line to line, trying to find the best one...but got wrapped up in the color of silk, and finding rainbows at the end of this magnificently sensual piece...

Martie~
This ... this is the Martiesque of you~
Nobody ... but nobody does it better~
Oh poetess ... this moves as softly as satin across silk~
Too ... too pretty~  Pardon me while I gush~

The feel is both warm and chillig.
Your poetry takes flight and soars,
like an endless carpet ride borng full speed ahead.
This was a fascinating read Martie.

Wow! Do I ever love how you laid out  the meaning in this one. It seems so desperate but definitely smacks of frustrated acceptance........good work!!

Martie,

The candles lit burn with the heat of
sensual yearning...  A flame which
fuels the fires within...

Love your fabulous use of images...
