girl, nude

[The Wanderer]

white body, wet and yawning
black robe, pulled closely around her
blood hums in her heart,

she memorizes the way the yellow sun
swims endlessly thru layers of blue,
sometimes wishes she could follow

a smile of warmth upon reflection
that same yellow flood pierces thru,
her naked legs and arms beg and sulk,

a stretching bodice, in the arms of a lover
soon she will disrobe
soon it will all be gone;

she is content to watch the sun stretch beyond their reach
as they shape her into a cloud, a mother, a madonna...

 

[bicyclingfish]

"she is content to watch the sun stretch beyond their reach
as they shape her into a cloud, a mother, a madonna..."

Wanderer,

The poets know all the truth.

[Blue_Angel]

soon she will disrobe
soon it will all be gone;


this is so beautiful..

 

[Cowgirl]

i've always loved how your lines flow so smoothly into each other
and colours and words entwine in this way that i think only you know how to do.

she memorizes the way the yellow sun
swims endlessly thru layers of blue,
sometimes wishes she could follow

i know how she feels

a smile of warmth upon reflection
in the context of this poem, this is a great line. The sun smiling upon the waters, or someone smiling while remembering something.

"blood hums in her heart"...I hear it. Thank you, this is beautiful. If I may say so, more optimistic than your poems tend to be, too.

I like it when someone writes something and I picture it in my mind. This is one such time. Thanks it was good.
