The Naked Maja




Based on the famous painting..."The Naked Maja"
                      ~A Fantasy~


           Within Her Memory-All of This Lives

        

Lying naked with him
in summers’ heat.
Iced lotus tea...in blue frosted 
glasses.
“Sweetheart,”she sighed “what 
a treat!"

Plus watermelon and mint on 
crystal plates?
He made her heart, much faster 
beat.
Reading her poetry by Kahlil 
Gibran!
Sexy man, time you turn that
fan on?

A picture of herself, soft~ 
like the “Naked Maja!”
Was lovely, in her straw hat....
gorgeous!
The color of deep brown Kava.

She cherished that picture of that 
steamy moment in time .
When she was yours and times,
divinely sublime!

She thinks of the child they created~
And lost, and mourned together.
May her infant soul be in heaven,light 
and crystalline, as a feather.

As frames in pictures, they kissed in 
both sun and the rain.
When they parted, clouds brought her
an ombré, on-going pain.

His twinkling hazel eyes, she still 
does see.
And, oh, how she misses him, so zealously!

Indeed it is! With tons of imagery, sensuality, and then, loss. I really get into a poem I write. Panagiota
