Nika

A sylph appears beneath the night - beguiling smile and touch invite... As honey flows and nectar drips, Sweet laughter ripples 'cross her lips... Her crystal eyes are flashing blue - They beckon with a lusty hue... Her silken strands of flaxen hair Are waving wildly in the air... The music plays, her swirling dance Entraps me in a mystic trance... She disappears as nighttime wanes - I'm left bewitched, my soul in chains...

I always love the meter of your poetry. It is music to my ears. Excellent poem. I'm trying to work my way up to your current poems. It's taking a long time because you are so prolific. I have loved them all.

Terry this is a lovely discription of the young lady in question. It is also well written but it seems to be dangling with out an end or some kind of completion as there is no how, where, when or why only what. Huggs Terry
