Gentle Strokes


Requested I am
as I witness gravity
tanned porcelain viewed
with gentle strokes I caress
her jet black mane captures me

love the use of the word gravity plus the plot of this tanka.. gravity is a downard pull that can't or may not be controlled ---a good way for the succeeding lines that tells how some eyes can fall to beauty in a second.. :)//olive eloisa
