[b]FOR HER---[/b]

[c=#BF0000]She was a fireball of temperament and passion.
And yet, she had that sparkling smile-
You know the one. The one that may make a young man smile inside
N' melt an older man's heart. Yes, that one. Sly glance and all.

Maybe that was the attraction if one can be so obvious or even callous?
Yet, I always saw it as a lot more. More than a smile and more than any temperament.
Or even a learned opinion.. There was a certain spark with her. Oh with many to be sure,
But I am not speaking of them and how darling they are. Just her.

I saw how other women regaled her;confiding secrets to her other ears never heard.
I am sure you are all aware of secret smiles and how they can leave you wondering.
She was as a caged bird set free, whose femininity, although never restrained, shone
Much brighter now that the shackles fell loose. I could let myself love her. If only..

I took her in my arms. Skin against skin, breathe against breath. Two souls searching.
No longer lost, no longer inhibited by conditions and expectations she was as a seductress.
One who let herself be seduced at times! It was life energy but it was renewed life energy. A lost little girl no more she loved with the desire of a woman in love with life itself.[/c]

My advice---do fall in love with a poet!

This is so romantic....and I loved how you ended it with just the thought I was thinking.

It's really a blessing to be in love with a person who can express their feelings poetically. 🌸🙌

@Vivaci I think falling in love with a poet is one of the most romantic things we can do!! They see life--and love-differently! Oh they may be wordy and their thoughts incohesive and their sentences may appear as abstract but when the poem is ended--and the abstract, incoherent and sentences come together is it not worth the wait?

I was proud of this then and remain so even though, as a challenge, it was bit of a failure.

I wrote this for any women who could see herself in this.

I'm touched that you liked it.

@Elandra77 You have this rare gift of understanding the unspoken words and reading in between lines, that makes your sense of perception meticulously accurate! For that I salute you 💯🙌🌸🤗
