"A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman." ~Wallace Stevens, Opus Posthumous (1957)
As the figures came into focus,
words dared only to dream of
this particular definition-
Ah yes, it was given the
name, Temptress
Curved affectivity following
within thoughts of non-inked
tenures where sighed bliss
infiltrated imagery of unspoken
satire; and still, traversed was
the moment of which sharpened
quills drew upon canvases...
...And two lovers was born

"the moment of which sharpened
quills drew upon canvases..."
shouldn't it be "the moment IN which?" It seems like you've gotten rid of all the words that mattered, and I wonder if you don't, perhaps, look upon a woman as a gynecologist would. There are, after all, many types of men. -

Actually no, I purposely wrote it that way

Uniquely written. I like your analogy very much.
