Ode to Women

 

 

Her toe nails are painted in bright red, her petit feet are as soft as the hair

Of a new born cat.

 

Her legs are long, solid and they move like they have a mind of their own. When you hear her high heels tapping across some marble floor your heart will snap in two. Her legs are as beautiful and as magnificent as the pillars of

 Ancient Rome.

 

Her hips swing like a diamond-incrusted chandelier. The black dress she wears covers her bum like the shroud that covered

 Jesus.

 

She smells like the fields of Provence, lavender, flowers and sunshine. Her breasts are firm, they slowly move up and down, as the woman takes slow, sexual

Gulps of night

 Air.

 

Her mouth is like that of a Russian socialite from the 19th century,

her magical eyes reminded one of those of Cleopatra, and

 her long brown hair dances in the slow breeze

 Like a peacocks feather being used as a fan

by a French princess.

Ancient Rome, Ciaooo Italia, come ti adoro... then... Jesus, in the smooth music of " Air" and danced by a French Princess... wow, dear, you are a genious! This woman, misses only some Portuges Fado, and some Spannish Flamenco and some Greek traditional sirtaki to give her all Europe almost we live in, love your writing... I am feeling sensual after reading ;)

What is not to love about this piece? If Picasso were a poet. Love the imagery:)

one or two analogies are a bit off with the rest of the piece, other than that the rest is excellent in terms of imagery, good work

what a great imagery . even I could easily fall in love with what you've created here- or maybe she is real. anyway this is very sensual and again the imagery is so strong that felt like I'm inside your art and I could see/feel/smell her. well done
