Sublimity ... Bandit of my breath Summer blond tresses, pure Splashed with amber bands, aglow Slowly twisting down to soft, stretchy curls Bouncing on your shoulders with heavenly mirth Like a child bouncing her bed Christmas morn Exquisite texture, as combed Turkish velour Meant for the delve of only tender hands Loving fingers that honor privilege Every touch savored, adored Each strand a rarity A golden thread Ephemeral. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Strand Choice 9 Any Theme Any Form" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.
