To Sail Her Eyes
Dream vista lipstick cloud smile
Sails below ocean blue eyes
With crimson sky hair
Lit by morningstar amulet
Of turquoise flower suspended
Round alabaster neck of heaven
That rises into an almond-shaped face
Sung by horizon eyelashes
Feathery as cirrus
But dark as night
With penciled eyebrows
Written in feminine runes

Much thanks, Rick. This was a portrait of a woman friend of mine. She is in her upper forties but her beauty is ageless and timeless. This was part of a series of poems I've written in adoration of her gorgeousness. This may be the best in that series. Much gratitude for reading my friend. John |

Your words brush a picture in my mind that speaks of a priceless masterpiece, John. Your model had to be a vision of loveliness. Such is the picture in my mind.

She is all of that Foxy my dear friend. She is a living breathing masterpiece. Something about her smile opens up vistas of beauty and enchantment for me. And her eyes, those eyes, they penetrate into my soul with warmth and compassion. Just a look and the words unfold like magic. She is the source of these creative gems. |

Love the visual detail, John. I'm reminded of a line from a movie: "The most beautiful thing a man will ever see is the face of the woman he loves. The most beautiful thing a woman will ever see is the face of her first born child." Explains much in life, no?

Dan, love that quote. Indeed it rings true for me. Glad you enjoyed the visuals, my friend. The woman who inspired this is a Botticelli Venus even in her late middle age. John |
