The Great facade of Woman!

Three thoughts came to mind as I read this:

First, the beautiful words in an old Nat "King" Cole tune:
"A blossom fell, and very soon, I knew someone else was kissing you beneath the moon..."

Secondly, a vision of EVE, as her fig leaf floated gently to the earth, revealing Adam's DELIGHT!

Finally, the song title - "I AM WOMAN!" The Invincable Invitation of Mons Veneris that NO man in his right mind could ever REFUSE!

Keep 'em Cummin' Kiddo! Excellent write! Tom.

I hide the girl behind
The beauty and
Fiction of my name.
...
My name is but a symbol
A tool to the roles I play you see,
A promise unfulfilled;
Of tantalizing possibility,
What he senses and what could be.
...
A mirage, dancing within a dream,
...
Cloaked in fantasy. He is my fire.
And beauty born of truth.
--- GREAT STUFF!

I liked how this unfolds A LOT. As beautiful as a flower in bloom. You appeal to the all the senses with this. I'm adding this one to my library. Graceful and passionate.
I wear it well
Adorning me like a mask
A shroud to cloud his eyes,
This sexuality of mine
A veil he cannot see.
He knows the mask is just a ruse,
An aspect of my game,
I hide the girl behind
The beauty and
Fiction of my name.
You rock in salacious poetry.
Hugs your salacious romance writing friend,
Marie
