Woman

She deepens in wordless waves
like the summer she appeared
With wonder my eyes obsess,
in longing quick to caress
the cascade of soft beauty
that to the heart grows near.

A love where no love conceived
Smiles laced in shone surprise
To burn beneath her fingertips
and sift the song from luring lips
Held captive by a new dawn
that wakes within her eyes.
