Parasol of Desire

January 21, 2017 by Dale 11 Comments

Graceful1

Your figure is sculpted upon the sky
Hips pressed against my gaze
You are sex upon my eye

Parasol SevillaYou drift upon the history
Swaying your skirt upon the wind
Captured within your memory

Graceful3

You stride upon the cityscape
Propelled with classic symmetry
Fashion wrapped around tradition’s drape

Parsol Sevilla

Your are a sultry figure
A mother to children who play
Cool shelter underneath to linger

Graceful2

Your are a parasol against the heat
A torso intertwined within desire
A swaying figure upon the street

Graceful4

Your are architecture fixed in space
A presence that connects me with your lines
Steel made flesh and filled with grace.

Parasol Sevilla

      Thank you. It is a beautiful dance to be part of where the words and the images find their feet together in (a hoped for) harmony. 🙂
