An ode to her

In the echoes 

of her silvery chiseled anklets

I heard the sweet silence

speak a thousand words. 

In the deep red glow

of her little velvety cupped lips

I knelt down to take a dip

in its sea of undying shyness.

In the arresting stings

of her flaming golden eyes 

I saw the heavens rise

in frenzy flares to touch her feet.

In the shivering chills

of her mellowing creamy skin

I sensed the jarring heaviness

take me over unto a bliss.

This is a leaping departure from the usual romantic rubbish I hate in so many boring love poems (a very good thing!) You describe lips & eyes, as many romantic poems do, but your description is so fresh & unusual, this is what I crave when I read the more mundane lumps of love talk going around. I don't think I've ever had this much fun reading a love poem until just now! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
