Naive Gesture

.

  Such an irresistible naïve gesture
                     from
              those sparkling
              bedroom eyne

                      Yes
                    slowly
              with a softness
       which even at a distance
                 I could feel
the silk slip to the cold wooden floor
                       fell

             Out came the ink
                 and the slip
                and they too 
                     fell to
         the cold wooden floor

It all happens with such a subtle softness to give the reader that languid feeling of patiently waiting for all to happen. Lovely James, it whispers!
