Premium Member Upon the Beauty of the Female Form

Earth has not anything to show more fair. 
Dull would he be of soul who turned away 
A sight   tempting in its deshabille 
The female physique, unadorned and bare. 

Her beautiful body,graceful and nude 
Curving  crevices so open to the eye 
Splendid and sun-kissed yet so softly shy 
So tempting, so enchanting  and so good. 

Never has the sun more gently caressed 
Her splendiferous  valleys,curves and hills 
Nor can I gaze on such grace unimpressed

Her shape does shimmer like a bright,white dove 
Inviting  chaste  worship and pious thrills 
And fills my full  heart with undying love.

White
birch
silver smooth,
reflecting..
in wintry sun
