Dangerous


“Beauty is power — a smile is its sword.” – John Wray

 

Golden’d ginger
that falls in flows
as waves of luster
breaking full over
satin soft shoulders
sensuously scented
in a sweet vanilla
to cascade beyond

eyes a pale shade
of saffron petals
that sparkle amethyst
in gentle moonlight
shadowed softly
a subtle cinnamon
quiet seduction
with no escape

lips a pouted sheen
of rich paprika
full and inviting
a temptress smile
that begs a kiss
yet warns of danger
pure cognac sipped
as hard to resist

pardon me please
but if I stare
it’s just so rare
to encounter beauty
of such perfection
your classic face
divinely sculpted
Venus’s reflection

you so mesmerize
captivate and tantalize
spellbind and hypnotize
such a scintillating
blend of visual spices
true temptation’s recipe
it’s then I realize

this is love
no hope for me

  1. “such a scintillating
    blend of visual spices
    true temptation’s recipe”

    I very much like that phrase—“visual spices.”

    1. My hair was a very dark auburn, and my beard was a redder shade of auburn. My daughter’s hair was dark auburn, though she colors now to hide the grey, so it is more sable these days. My grandson is a dark ginger. Love the color.

  2. It looks like this is your perfect woman, Rob. But, as you say, ‘this is love / no hope for me’. This is scintillating stuff! Especially the ‘waves of luster / that break over / satin soft shoulders’ and ‘a subtle cinnamon / quiet seduction / with no escape’.

    1. When you’re an old man, who loves and likes women — any women can be a perfect women Kim… I just happened to imagine this one out of the spices offered — ginger started it rolling. 🙂

  3. An enchanting woman indeed. There are so many phrases to love…..
    “eyes a pale shade of saffron petals” and “lips a pouted sheen
    of rich paprika” are just a couple of my favourites. Nice one, Rob.
