Blush, July o2, 2o13

Tuesday,
   Like almost all my poetry, it takes me a while to get a poem posted here. This was written right after the Super Moon in June:


Blush
 
Yellow-white against black skin,
a cloud of midnight wanders
past her moody face. There, within
her smoky flesh she  wonders
 
how she can be so delicately tame,
how day and dark can shape her,
bind her without shame,
blind the beauty of all other.
 
Her light is brightest in the grasp
of night.  The branches of the elms
tonight call out to her, they gasp;
her glowing stare it overwhelms.
 
My simple need to always please
her, to be near her, watching every move
she shimmers in the slightest breeze.
And now it’s me who loudly blushes love.
