The Feminine
By Michael Copeland

Wild flowers, in the wind,
soaking the gift sunshine as
the soft heart of love’s sweet flow
gives company to nature’s bounty.

Sun-soaked tresses cascade
her golden arms ringing lightly on
moist skin of scented flowers
filling his mind with worship.
Magical feelings course the body
a tingle of passion, and more,
the breath of yesterday caressing
his neck ruffling the collar
A long overdue hug awaits him,
lithe arms encircle his body
his melting heart surrenders
to her softness and joy.
