Ivy

Her hair was as straight and red
As ironed ketchup
To her waist and below
Insulting that color only found
In lush tropical rain forests
On the crests of rare birds
By cutting it?
Sacrilege

She wore it like a curtain
To keep out the sun

Her hair the only thing
That could hide the woman
In her curves

I could have lived and died
Nourished by the sight
And feel of her body

Rounded lower tummy that swayed
Into her belly button
That arched over rib cage
That landed in secluded
Rest in the shady underneath
Of her tits

Tits like two jiggling moons
That nodded in agreement
When she giggled

Her giggles tinkled like Wind chimes
And only came out on
Special occasions

And then the round of her a*s
Shaped like an upside down Valentine
Dimple on her left cheek
As if her crack was grinning wide
Perhaps it was
Moved side to side when she
Walked like kittens under a cozy
Blanket

Eyes yellow green
Full of questions

Lips bee stung
And stained a color pink that only
Occurs while eating wild berries

And when that girl smiled
The whole world
Sighed
