Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

Garden Crush

A beautiful woman delights the eye;
a wise woman, the understanding;
a pure one, the soul.

GARDEN CRUSH

Tangerine hair, floral lips.
Nostrils flare - petals thrill.
Piano keys pressed.

Pearls and lace,
damask chest,
Lingering sleeves. Classic-

Beauty’s surrounded
By her garden crush.

Eye’s shadow, ear’s brushed
With her ruddy locks.
Silent meditation 
Of her clenched hand.
Soft petals.
Ruby rocks.
