LOVE OF JASMINE.A Poem by Terry CollettA MAN'S LOVE OF A WOMAN.Jasmine smells, as other women don’t. You are biased no doubt. You dare not Let her from your keen sight too long, lest Other men, weak schmucks, take in her smell And are sucked into her beauty and sweet Ways as well. You love to wake mornings And feel her there, sense the being of her Breathing, the ins and outs, the rising breasts And fall, the closed eyes dreaming of other Worlds, climes, maybe loves, and other Guys. You doubt that. Push from thoughts. Push away such dream-world betrayals, Draw her into your arms for morning hold And kiss and whispered words. She moves In her sleep as she does awake. Her lips pout, Her eyelids flutter and her arms fling wildly out, As young ballerinas may do in dance, no doubt. Now you lay back and gently stare, leave her to Her motions there. Her deep breathing, almost a Language in itself, fascinates you by its rise And fall, its wordless song. Jasmine, you whisper, Your words, fragile as silken tread, touch her Soft ears, to reach inside her head. She moves Her lovely face away. Her breasts, face, eyes And features are not in sight. You place a hand Upon her thigh, think of the hot love made often In the night, and smiling a sad smile, you sigh. © 2011 Terry Collett |
