ARTISAN......
draw
an outline
and form it
my strong smooth hands
along the thighs
the hips
the stomach the ribs
up to cup the perfection
the delicate blades of
shoulder
the strong limber neck
and throat arched just
right
and tresses
that catch the light
and smell of summer
days and fresh winter
mornings
put a glitter in the eye
and a pull of a smile
at the corners of
a dimpled mouth
all I need is the heart
but this is the key
that breaks all others
and starts the stars to ache
and tumble
but Im just so humble
and we make one
and in the castle keep
on stormy night
the delicate fingers
stir
the toes arch
from the millenium sleep
arise arise beauty
perfection
but wait
a pounding on the door
villagers cries
"wake up and get to work..."
alas tis only Friday!!!
(sure I woke to Lavender perfume)

Beautiful
Though didn't quite understand. Was it a dream?
Thought light should rhyme with crisp winter night?
Was good
