It is said the mind immersed in self a thought so vain I think clearer picture paints the sunlight after rain For as I think about you I immerse into sweet care To value and keep optimum of what we both will share For when disrobed into your thought so tender with myself Immersed in warm sweet bubble bath with candle on the shelf The glow that radiant upon my skin reflect the smile I see And gently of the scents rubbed in caress the full of me As in the mirror I catch sight of the beauty of my face In some artistic caption when my thoughts around you grace And time must be allowed to do all that it does so well From firm to soft so natural and all the best to tell The satin of the robes I choose, not foolish or too much I think in simple terms of pretty things beneath your touch The way I keep my delicates, the way I wear my hair Enough enhance of eyes and lips to let me linger there It is said the mind immersed in self a thought so vain And still you wander far from here without a lead or chain The picture that I hold inside shows well upon my wear The best of me to keep so well in sensual vision there For you in wash all over me from finger tip to toe In every way and intimate the best of love will show As there are many ravages to steal that youthful glow Yet wrapped within the thought of you the best of me to know Copyright Kkh 1/1/03 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (01-01-2003 04:45 PM).] |

Like a soft breeze sighing among the pines of forest green...The gentle swell of an ocean wave, flowing without the slightest effort... Beautiful write from your talented treasure chest... |

This is utterly precious. I like this so much from title to line: "and still you wander far from here without a lead or chain" Simply too many other lines to quote, the entire poem is special. Enjoyed! Warm regards, Pat ![]() ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

TD What a wonderful way to look in the mirror of self, as a gift to love, not vanity. I do believe you could turn burlap into silk. So beautifully done, with a soft overlay of sensuality. |
