Ruby

Missing image
She smelt winsome
wearing his fragrance;
a country girl dressed in
pollution
and plush red lipstick.

She wanted to be near
the fall of nature’s sonnets;
beneath an auburn branch,

but the closest poetry
she could relish
was his kiss
under the arid lights
of a winter street.

    FANTASTIC!

    I love this piece. The romance, the passion the imagery all work to make this a beautiful piece. The last stanza just melted me (and that's not such an easy thing to do!). I was affected by this.

    So far I like it, but I feel that there is still more to be added to it. I like the flow and the imagery it gives me such a romantic feel...

      Ok. I would have no idea where to take it from there though. It feels complete to me...I said all I wanted to be said, so I'd have to take ideas from yourself regarding where to add to it.
      Thanks
