ARTIST'S MODEL 6


He had painted her naked

But, in gently peeling his shirt
from her shoulders,
he was seeing her
for the very first time...

A map of the world
and every constellation
lay within the contours
of her softly glistening skin;

And all the freshness,
the undiscovered layers
of a tightly budded rose

Life and meaning
was unsheathed,
bared before his gaze;
All time suspended


As dusk closed about them
and Venus appeared
in a clear night-sky

He needed no navigation
to find his way home

I seem to be doing these backwards, Kate... they embrace and lure.

The tender, imaginative metaphors are evidence of the writer's grace-filled mind... you are generous with your gifts. My mind's eye savors each line. Lovely! katy xox.

Woman expressed as the stars in the sky is such a wonderful way to describe the beauty of not just the physical women but the woman as a whole.
Lovely and fitting tribute continues to unfold with this ending, marvellous Kate,marvelous.
