Woman

To look into the eyes of lovely itself,

   and dream a thousand days of her smile,

   and call the millenium barren without her,

   tall, plush walk.....

   strides in the naked night....

Moons waiting to delight, the fluff-fluttered

   silk of her waxen wings; 

   a million suns could not melt....

But her hero upon the hill, 

   and make sweet surrender her arms;

   and wanting her touch to love,

   in a midnight grove, 

   stroll the lush orchard,

   with flowers in her hand.....

To music at home,

   dancing into bedrooms....

   and dreamy little love lands....

For all the mysteries of a woman 

   in her hand,

   (she held)

Dear Keith, I think I've said it before, but your work emulates that of the finest in the British Romantic Period. People like Yeats, Keats and Byron have a similar style. What a beauty you have here -- don't let her get away! Love, Carolyn

Keith I like the rhythm and flow of this apart from the end line ' fluff-fluttered' the alliteration grates a little but apart from that it is very good....David

Thanks Dave, strange though that something fluffy is grating? Interesting note! :-)
