A beautiful man is hard made Of the seas in mirror of the sky Such that gentle sounds command his footsteps Stunning does he shape the stars In strong hands, climbing and clawing at the moon Reasoning in fact, the ambitions of prowess and cool That a woman would curl close beside him Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve His luster is her own regard To beat within the spring of early morning Her eyes revive and stir his shores to madness As daybreak gleams upon his body She recalls the muscle tone and smiles the sun Aware of every shimmer shone and new, and shades her eyes To see Copyright Kkh 02/23/05 |

His luster is her own regard To beat within the spring of early morning Her eyes revive and stir his shores to madness I adore your poetry, Kathleen. It is beyond beautiful, and so much more. |

“That a woman would curl close beside him Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve” . What man could resist such a woman? This writing, your words, carve “LOVE” in that summer’s shade tree in the memories of so long ago. Youth, a seemingly endless time, an unbreakable bond between a young man and young woman, and so picturesque. This one, as so many of your writings, brings such warmth, and has so much depth. This is a beauty. A Verb From Your Heart. |

TD Your title really caught me with delight, then the whole poem was filled with the way it is to love a man, just so. |

"That a woman would curl close beside him Draw blood upon a living soul that would harm him Fight disciple and thief in his defense, without reserve" Webster couldn't have said it better... Beauty in words. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
