When a Man Loves a Woman

 

 

 

He sees her, desirable, bending,

swaying in the early morning breeze,

supple as young fern in frail sunlight

trapped in deep, luscious forest~

 

He feels her touch, as a zephyr

would comfort the laborer in the field,

rapt in his toil but mesmerized by

bestowed comfort~

 

He hears her, calling to his spirit

in tuned to her song, enraptured

with a melody that only he

can discern with tender appeal~

 

He tastes her lips delectable,

tender as sweet fruit, ripe

for the picking, long-lasting

on his palate that yearns.

 

 

 

Author notes

Pablo Neruda - Quite possibly the most romantic poet ever, I recommend any of his sonnets. Check him out on www.oldpoetry.com (allpoetry's sister site).

  • Hmm... curious...

    I thought I had commented on this one already (am I imagining things?)
    Anyhow...
    As someone stated earlier "MOVE OVER PABLO!!!!"
    This is absolutely exquisite!
    I think you've outdone the old great romantic (and are perhaps the most romantic poet I've ever come across).
    You are an extremely talented poet, and I alwasy enjoy reading yoru work.
    Wonderful, wonderful entry!!!
