Olympiana

OLYMPIANA Some can wear glasses Some cannot She was the latter type Slender Young Brunette With hair and skin fine enough for shoulder display Graceful hands The rest covered by winter dress I couldn’t help but stare Of this she was quite unaware There is a type (I had in mind) for glasses Slender Young Almost blond With tragically short hair Anything but liberated Well she blew the image Held my gaze in carnal vice The male will fantasize invent shapes touches aromas even tastes She was beyond this somehow I suppose it must have been Olympian And there sat I in worshipful abeyance MADDENING! The placing of such a person seemingly has no reference There sat I at foot of the peak Transfixed! When? All at once! She looked up! This bucktoothy smile……….. And the rocks came tumbling down all round

man is not wretched. biblically wo man means= wound of man, while men are visually attracted, we as women are emotionally attracted, I read the first two pages del fierro sent me media mail and that was all the info. i needed.LOL "Nature of Man" you know this John syndrome of mine in its past and I love him too, but choices, ummmmmm. A man will do anything you let them. Matthew isn't like that, but did say: be careful what you wish for. LOL I apprecaite you Dave. No harm.

What a delight, your insight. You construct it so well. There's a cosmetic dentist on most every block.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... everyone is beautiful in their own way, and there are reasons why you meet everyone in life, you will remember her....:) ? This poem was well constructed, good mechanics and a flowing appauling of mans own human nature. Men are visually attracted, preditors naturally in matters, so no, man that stares a glance is nothing wrong/ beauty is skin deep someone said, my friend I grew up w/ said: ugly goes to the bone. I sighed, when he spoke of a girl.Luck,
