Sailing Ships Painted

her mind once well groomed as a summer sky
joy interlaced with her tears
i see the enchanted waters of her hearts inner sea
sailing ships painted there so regal and powerful
they plunder the waters for its most intimate secrets
for its most fragile dreams
i see myself reflected there
all the hopes and dreams of all men
to know that stormy sea of a woman's heart
to know the intimate touch of her lips on yours
i am but a dreamer in that place
but it searches my soul to behold
that delicate flower of her heart
growing bold with her care
growing to love without thought or care
i am humbled by the truth of her
i am in awe of the strength of her
to know her kiss
to know her tender embrace
so i sail on into the night raptures of her pleasures
lost no more
found at the edge of her inner sea
i am her man
she is to me
everything

That's quite romantic, Mark. Any woman would want her man to think of her in the beautiful words you used.
