Quoth Theraven Poet Verse

Listen to poem:

She

 She 

 wrapped in ribbons of light
Oh, so sweet a smile
lit
those pistachios in fiery eyes

refilling the vessel of a soul 
counting all strings plucked
in excited thrum - 
a beating heart

paradise is never far, no
 not for me
walked in her graceful dawn
with blooms that go on and on
beguiled by desire's call 

She  

 Charles Aznavour, Herbert Kretzmer (1974) - She
