PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Having removed almost all of your clothes;

clad only in a pair of pantyhose---

sheer, suntan, reinforced around the toes---

you prove that verse can fail, as much as prose,

to trace your beauty in words of precision.

(Alas, with flesh, the clumsiest condition

obtains.)  I know my poor lines cannot measure

the verve of this private experience:

but, to the ultimate degrees of pleasure

you take me---well beyond mere sound and sense,

far past the reach of all . . . but ecstasy.

For that, I thank you, Lady Certainly.
