A fabric of bamboo
Delicately beauty suspended
Like a floating stillness, stilted
But evoking something else
Her face conjures it
The underlying cause
A heightened state
The sensual dimension
Into which a heart could journey
Seeking connection
Possibly perfection
This is her
This is her
Is this her
The depth of those dark pools
Their inscrutability entrapping
Desire overcomes
Desire is all
A promise of treasure
The elegance of her mouth
Held from striking
Awaiting yours
The dryness crucifying
Where elsewhere moist
Hands now reaching
To hold out as sacrifice
A soul in contortion
Hopeful
This is her
This is her
Is this her
