in the shadows

0 posted 2005-02-05 11:39 PM

There are curves on you that fit my eyes
tighter than my lids,
must be why I sometimes cry for joy
of seeing you
so unaware of beauty.
Is it because you wear it comfortably
forgotten simply as your skin,
the same skin I feel on you
across a crowded room?
Pale eyes see through me calmly
as you make yourself at home
inside me,
as I watch you
naked in the mirror
puzzle with your face;
small smooth muscles
cutting shadows
on the landscape of your back,
I am shaken by the two of you,
one real and warm beside me
one cold beauty in the glass,
soft heat and scent surround me
as leaning forward
you press
edges of delight against the porcelain;
thin silk dress
crumpled on the floor
beside discarded absurdly too tall heels
in which you can,
with casual grace and balance,
calmly stride beside me
all legs and breezy silk,
quiet smile and confidence,
as my soul swells up to burst.

This is OUTSTANDINGLY beautiful, dear icebox. I see the memory is fresh!

And the fact that you say she is unaware of her beauty, is just the cherry on top of the cream.

A poem to enjoy again, putting it into my library.

Love, Margherita

I like it when a woman
doesn't realize
