Inked in her Expressions

celebrating the beauty of a woman

The auburn titter
of the fresh maple leaves
that turned the wind south,
waited all along under the sun
to catch a glimpse
of her pearl lit smile
that silenced the time.

The astral glow
of the shivering crescent moon
that mirrored a million hearts,
skipped a heartbeat
when her silver bathed anklets
jingled to jive
a thousand notes of music.

The piercing incense
of the white morning mist
that concealed its shimmering eyes,
woke up to see her,
letting the silks of black hair
that swirled in air
to kiss the light of the day.

The meandering ripples
of the river down the valley
that hunted the nature in verve,
took down a bow
in reverence of her presence
to tear open the sky all blue.

You bring nature to life in this stunning, romantic metaphoric poem...you seem to catch dwellers of the cosmos in a rhythmic, visual way.... as they live quietly together in a symbiotic universe....your words speak of sensuality in a dream-like world....since you subtly mention flowing black hair" to kiss the light of day"
"her pearl lit smile".....a very well crafted piece....
Warmly, B

Thank you for the wonderful review Betty. I'm glad you liked the poem. This dreamy-like world piece is the celebration of a beauty of woman. I tried to weave a picture of how nature may appreciate the beauty of a woman. Thank you for reading.
