Cuerpo de Mujer Date: Friday, 1st October 2004 @ 04:25:00 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: greasefire Cuerpo de Mujer The tobacco-stained sky above the sequined silence of love It makes me wonder what makes your lips quiver like that Tiny tremors on smooth skin Silky ripples, windy pond Branches shudder, leaves fall in Close your eyes. Let fall begin Long, neatly folded arms A soft-round crease it charms Fingers to flutter over flesh A nail to slide under the mesh Protruding line that splits your back Rounded rocks in shallow water When we dance I rest my hand Where oceans lap against slow hills Lock my eyes, let me peer in Deep dark wells throw nothing in Lay down with satisfied sighs And let me rest within your thighs This poem is Copyright © greasefire Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
