she walks in the beauty of my thoughts

in my thoughts she is beauty

as she glides though natural

endeavors



she is not the stick that snaps

in the woods under the foot

of a fox



and her footprints ramble in

directions of the easiest pleasure

that i must distance my fears from



her moments are not mine



her pleasure is savored

in ways that slip through

the knuckles of my fingers



her beauty is the stroke

of a summer frog

along the grassy shore



and her notions unfold

in souvenirs of grandeur

in conversations

that have no story



they are beautiful

if i try not

to own them

The poem is even more breath-taking on a second reading!

Breath-takingly exquisite; this is a real work of Art. This poem establishes you, all of its own, as one of the most important love-poets on postpoems. To you I say, as I quote from Dante, Il Miglior Fabbro.
