Enchanted Dream

You put on your dress

like a soft-feathered dream

in a sultry summer sky,



like a sweet caress that awakens

your body from sleep until

it lights up like a fire in the dark,



like the warm words of a poem

that stir your memories

of other nights of love

when the huge breath of life

itself seemed to ride

on the rustle of your sighs,

and you knew what it was like

to be a goddess divine,



&



you pass before me

like an enchanted breeze

from an enchanted sea,



&



you take my breath away

and turn my life into

an enchanted dream.

I enjoyed this poem very much.
It's reminescint of that lovely, old-fashioned,
romantic poetry which seems to have gone the way
of the great poets.

It left me with a sense you have a great respect
for women. I shall, most likely, go on to read
your other poetry.
