Beauty & The Woman
-
- I have seen
stars in the sky
- I have gathered
flowers in spring's garden
- at nightfall
trees have wet my face
- I have seen dusk
fall on many horizons
- the rainbow
after drenching rain
- is arched into
the sun
- the new year's
sun in March, May's and June's moon
- have come and
gone in their days and nights
- the stream's
torrent and silver foam
- a thousand
lights in their distances
- ripe red and
yellow fruit of the garden
- birds' song and
chatter in upland forest
- beautiful music
has risen often
- from throat of
flute or from strings of violin
- All this is
wonder and beauty
- throwing its
light on the way of existence
- but nature
without the smile of my love
- is all void of
light
- is without tune
when the wind
- bears not her
voice to excite me;
- What star, what
wild rose is as red
- as her cheeks,
her nipples and lipas;
- what stain of
blackness stills as in her eyes
- black as her
lashes, brows or her loose hair?
- What height as
beautiful as she grown tall
- what glow as
light as in her eyes?
- What yearning in
a stayed and pent up heart
- as magical as
that of love?
