she is a poem,
electric brush of moonlight
stroking naked flesh

she is a poem,
crimson rush of forest fire
burning hidden dells

she is a poem,
the heated blush of verses
written on my soul

    And my heart skipped a beat .. So hot and sensual it captivated my eyes and bewitched my soul.

    I couldn’t help but hear “moonlight” and “burning” eacho your voice.
    With thrilling verses like this, the crush keeps experiencing rippled effect. 😀
    Loved it!!!

  13. Awesome. And that photo is spectacular too. I love that you referred to ‘her’ as a poem. There is this author and musician that I really admire named, Michael Card. He wrote a song called, “The Poem of Your Life”. If interested check it out here:
