Image result for woman soft body black and white

oh ... there is a place of mystery and captivation where the weary edges of a woman's day are crimped in wild whispers and trimmed with nectarous need ... where the twilight meanderings of her heart become far more than fancies and the cottony petals of her bloom are bared to the touch, seductive ... slopes of an integument, soft that wind, lazy, to a wellspring of wonder a paradise to shame the Gardens of Babylon and rob the breath of any who dare to solve its erotic enigmas or gain a passionate passage ... few ever find their way and even fewer are blessed to turn its tender key. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Strand Choice C, Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

I love it Greg. It seems to express everything that I feel. This is amazingly written so well. I am making it a FAV.

Greg, you sure have a way with this kind of poetry. Seductive, dreamy, luscious in your descriptions. "A paradise to shame the Gardens of Babylon". Wow.
