Tempted Shall I not yield to temptation amidst floating embers of amber light, while these celestial stars paint the sky with diamond light? Her deft brush strokes manifest midnight clear as serpentine trails of smoke rise listlessly beyond the ring of fire. These stars have fallen upon her, resting in the well of her eyes as fire-glow radiates beauty upon beauty. Silver light bathes her supple skin as this callused hand brushes her tender cheek as deftly as she paints the stars, ever disciplined to study every pore And contemplate… What fortuned man am I To look upon my wife one more time? Perhaps fortuned still, to awake with her in the ‘morrow while the sun kisses our casement drenched in morning light. Again, shall I be tempted as amber hues foray over retreating shadows extinguishing darkness and dressing her in the veil of existential golden light. So, that I might look upon my beloved wife ad relish in all of her beauty one more time. Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2004 |

Kevo, I like it better this way. It flows better, but I did like the ending of the other poem, too! Ditto what iliana said and add your wife's a lucky girl to have someone who asks questions, knowing the anwers. Have a great weekend. Sadie |
