Notes About The Poem

Admiring You

          As I look you over from top to bottom,
          I'm rendered speechless. It feels as if
         my arrested eyes are tricking my mind. 
         You take my breath away; so beautiful!
     Your elegance is a treat to behold, my queen.

  You look mighty fine, dare I say, more beautiful 
      than all the colorful gardens I see in spring.
       Trust me, Aphrodite's got nothing on you!
       You're much more welcoming to the eyes
       than blood diamonds gleaming in the sun.

               And you wield your sex appeal
  with a knife-like precision, my sweet potato pie!
            You could make any man's knees
       jiggle like Jello; you make mine crumble!
           Spin for me now; twirl around slow

      like a dervish so I take a peek from the back...
 Oh, you got it going on, bae!  If only you could see
        your silky black hair slowly tumbling down 
       your shoulder in curls. It's poetry in motion!
       Your dangling earrings almost hypnotize me.

                     I'm looking you all over 
        and it's almost like I'm meeting you anew!
        You look as pretty as your smile, my dear.
         Keep that smile on your face that glows 
        like the moon. Rock on with your bad self!

There is much rhythm in your free verse for it speaks of tender love. Sweet and romantic--I'm sure she loves it!
