Irresistible - Two Sketches
IRRESISTIBLE – Two sketches
Bella Donna
At distance
She had beauty of form –
A kind of neutral simplicity
Which added perfumed color
To those surround
Closing on subject
One might notice a slight pink rush
On her blossom face
A deep emerald glow
Striking the eye
The meeting is sudden
One yearns to touch
Ah but to kiss
Would be sorry for
A poison heart stains that loveliness
POPPY
Her dress is varied –
A mixed confusion of inner colors
Detracting from those not lesser charms -
The lemon creamy fringes
The central ebony and peach flares
Blend to focus an oval black beauty
With laughing lips
And a will to be loved
