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.

That poem was beautiful. keep writeing.
