No Stranger to Beauty
.
I am no stranger to beauty
It has thrilled me,
haunted me,
betrayed me,
pursued me,
evaded me.
.
It has danced wild with me
Through soft, velvet night.
It has lain gentle with me
In the quiet, silver dawn.
.
I am no stranger to beauty.
It has inspired me,
Calmed me,
Enraged me,
Tortured me,
Chained me.
.
It has walked easy with me
On golden summer days.
It has danced only for me
With urgent promise in its eyes.
.
I am no stranger to beauty.
But yours …
Brown eyed
And naked.
Pale skinned
and perfect.
Has taken my breath away.
.

This poem was penned by me in about twenty minutes an hour or so ago. It is by no means fully crafted – but for me it captures the moment. It was inspired by an event that happened only very recently about which I am still shaking my head in awed disbelief.
By the way the painting, entitled Lacrimae Rerum, is by an artist called Fletcher Sibthorp about whom I know very little except that I love his work.

Very sensual poem – its rhythm echoes that of passionate and impatient love-making.

Thank you. Though I am seldom impatient in my love making…
I read the poem quite slowly.
