Venetian Blind

Peek, gentle whispers
What you seek of me, open
Your embrace, full mast

Love it, love it. Love you for always commenting on my poems. "History" was for my Prizewinning artist friend. I asked her to do full body portrait of me IF I could afford her fee. She said, Write me a poem, and I will do the portrait. I sat for it in Winter Haven last weekend.

this is what i call the unfolding... a gradual slide that slowly opens , then spreads out like a wide fan ... what a way to express a full embrace!... you nailed it, drake!...:) huggs
