Missing image

 

 

i

He used his index finger
to mould the contours
of her ivory skin
so she became a delicate
cocoon around him.




ii

Yesterday, the sun shone;
even trees seemed happy
waving on migrating birds.

She mimicked the trees,
and he tickled her.





iii

From a distance
a real red rose could
dance as well as his Love,

but, he knew the dreams
of his Love's willowy stem,
(even if she didn't.)

    amazingly beautiful, both the words and the picture compliment each other in their delicacy and beauty. i can find nothing to critisize here as i love the flow and even the background with its simplicity compliments the write, thank you for sharing this with us i wish i could have given you some tips but it sems to me that you are not in need of them
