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.
