-blazon after Woloch
My love with her chocolate river of tresses,
Her slow-flowing curls, polished mahogany.
My love with her lips of tequila sunrise
With her milky-skinned sin, spreading wildfire blush.
My love with her hummingbird voice
Her windswept dune song, her soul
strumming hum
My love with her eyes of moonstone and twilight,
Her mysterious eyes of long tide pool shadows
My love with her willow tree frame
With her star-dappled thighs, soft gossamer down.
My love with her lotus bloom tongue,
Her narcotic tongue tracing spirals through midnight,
My love with her deep-desert wellspring,
To which I stumble, broken and parched.

Incredibly beautiful piece Ryan. Wonderful flow, evocative, sensual, romantic, yet erotic in the best way I’d say 🙂 Well used metaphors/similies throughout.

The repetition of “My love” is so endearing in this tribute to someone special. Every line is so rich in imagery, but I especially like the sound of this…
