I give you ear rings hewn from moons
That circle Saturn in the cold,
Pearl necklaces in long festoons,
And torques of hammered, fluted gold.
Your neck is lovely as a swan’s,
Your limber legs go on for miles,
And then a light like gleaming dawns,
When your lips curl in lovely smiles.
I give you toe rings hewn from jade,
I fetched from far across the sea,
By artisans so deftly made
Of orange, green and ivory.
Your hair is like a dark cascade
That makes all sigh with sad regret,
While cast upon the palisade
Your slinky Siren silhouette!
My deft and lovely sorceress,
Your gown of long and rustled silk
Clings to you and your curves caress,
Your flesh as sweet as honeyed milk.
Your presence is a holy joy,
With certainty I say but this:
Your laughter might all grief destroy,
While Paradise is in your kiss!

you mention things in your poems at times (in gentle and lovely ways) that if others tried would appear indecent. this poem is a very pretty tribute to that lovely girl (her picture is there). you make words do brilliant things.

my first impression of this one is a poem i would expect in a book, not written by an amateur. i liked!

Splendid, truly, Sir Poet!
