Her Luscious Lips a Tantalizing Treat

Her Luscious Lips A Tantalizing Treat

A gust of cobalt blue winds grace her face
Brazen black hair outshines cerculean sky
She that dances forth with such princess grace
As if she were angel about to fly
And the woven gleam from those big blue eyes
Her luscious lips a tantalizing treat
Holding her so very tight as red sun dies
I pray true love never know its defeat
Her smile, beautiful as a floating swan
She that walks with the air of princess divine
She my Bathsheba I her loving Khan
And our life, our love making tis so fine

On silken sheets our bed bursts into flames.
Our life is true grand, as we play no games.

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
Feb. 19th 1975

Note: Written for my beautiful girlfriend Olivia.
She that rocks my world.

I am utterly enamored by the exquisite portrayal of his beloved, depicted as a celestial being adorned with angelic attributes. The words effortlessly intertwine to create a masterpiece that resonates with heavenly elegance and grace. This a fave. Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/25/2023 4:35:00 AM Thank you, my good friend. This was composed about my first wife that I loved with my all. I was truly head over heels in love with her. I did not use drugs but she did. We divorced two years later, she would not stop drugs and I had had enough of her disappearing acts to go do drugs with whomever. Sad and tragic but true. A man can only stand so much. God bless.

Hiya Sharma Date: 8/23/2023 9:04:00 PM Awwn, such a heartwarming poem this is.. I absolutely love the angelic and heavenly descriptions of your beloved here, so gracefully carved in words.. "A gust of cobalt blue winds", "brazen black hair outshines cerulean sky", "as red sun dies", "her smile, beautiful as a floating swan" Such ethereal nuances in this one.. Perfectly elaborating a love-lit ambience.. So beautiful.. Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/24/2023 3:53:00 AM Thank you, my friend. I was 21 years old and quite madly in love with her. You see she was my wife at that time. She cheated on me several times and we divorced over it the third time she did it. Sad and tragic... God bless.
