Diary of a Woman

Her body rhythmically beguiles
their captivated minds;
she sings to each man down the aisles,
and each his siren finds.

Though varied be the forms she takes
upon each lover's eyes;
a passion once at slumber wakes,
to plumb through her disguise.

The words are etched across her face,
with every breath inhaled;
into the soul, a warm embrace,
a mystery unveiled.

Returning for another glance
beyond her vaulted door;
The love she now holds in her trance,
her chamber will explore.

Now finding there upon her bed,
a diary trimmed in gold;
upon its sheets, with ink of red,
are stories yet untold.

In entry upon entry, he
can see as blossom grows;
through pages upon pages, she
unfolds her budded rose.

A nice write with good flow, def worth a second read- a bit slower being lured in deeper ... hated to see it end, it closed softly holding a memory of its words. Thanks, I'll be back

Such a beautiful poem. You have a way of pulling people into your poetry.

I've always loved this one. The rhyme carries it like the sway of a woman's skirt.

Very nice. As I read each line; I became more excited, more anxious to devour the next one. I love how the rthym led me to the end and made me want to read it once again.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Sherrie. I'm tickled that it had such an effect on you. :-)

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
