Tall is the night

on gazelle legs
with zebra lashs

your eyes are pools
oasis drinking
flashing in the ozone
bareness

stand near and feel
my breath as we watch
the glow

your thin sweet wrist
poised upon your words
the ripple of your laugh
harvested from between
your breasts and rising
from your middle like
nights dark velvet

tails of gold like wind
in sunsets dreaming
you have chained my
heart to your talismen
bravado

tamed my wild with
your shy coyness

and the collision
you leave upon my chest
are reasons to remain

paining like tragic
demise
and just as dearly loved

oh Steven

Speechlessly beautiful poetry and the collision you leave upon my chest are reasons to remain and to shatter at your feet again and again and again just beautiful verse my friend love and hugs JayCee x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.-Ivan Panin")

life is thumbs up

there is just beauty sometimes in rawness in refined wilds in eyes of terrible beauty that I cannot tear away whose colour is unique and special such is the heartbreaker unknown

the ripple of your laugh harvested from between your breasts

Ann of Norway "the ripple of your laugh harvested from between your breasts " Oh what generation of laughter can compare to this one? Your gazelle-like beauty struts before our minds, like the echo of a sound that penetrates our hearts and colours our eyes, through which we gaze at details so particular described by Steven in his pensive mood as he looks back at passing pictures of the girls who inspired his all, his creative pen his elated heart. Love to you Steven from Ann.
