*~ A Lover of Women ~* *A thousand dark secrets lurked in his eyes* *they were hooded and sleepy* *and sexuality clung to him like a cloak* *He is a lover of women, mostly Southern* *and a lover of words* *When he got the two together* *there was a perpetual temperature rise* *running from hot to red hot* *He belongs to another time* *before flirting became extinct* *and the pursuit of romance was still an art* *He�s the kind of man that other men admire* *and women want to be with* *He is handsome, debonair, dashing* *flamboyant, dapper and elegant* *a gentleman with a silver tongue* *this persuasive aging Casanova* *He is part charming riverboat rake* *and part swashbuckling rogue* *He left them all with smiles* *the happier for where they have been* *Each had a rip roaring, fire cracking,* *roller coaster of a ride* *and were all the better for buying a ticket* *and knowing him�* *penned by: Carole Mathys*

Carole, Carole, Carole!!

The entire poem is brilliant, with many outstanding lines, but the one that really got me was,

"...and sexuality clung to him like a cloak...." SWOON! GAD. This write is ELECTRIC! *whew.* BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Ah, Carole, you have touched that fantasy in most women to know a man such as you have drawn. Haven't most of us known one at some time or another; or thought we have.....

Well done. Joyce

I guess there are still a few around who know how to charm the women. I don't think they are all extinct.

This is really good, Carole!

"and sexuality clung to him like a cloak"

This line is powerfully aligned with the totality of this poem! Early on, your reader knows where this is headed.

"and were all the better for buying a ticket
and knowing him�" Such a respective line for the finale! Did you save your ticket stub, Carole?
