Ballerina II

Silk and Amber

April 14, 2012

Beauty in full bloom

From the tropical…

…To the optical

From sparkling eyes come

A steady gaze

Drawing me in to safely moor

Beauty in varying colors

A rainbow, a monochrome

Understated shades in pastels

A curious mix from deep alizarin…

…To tones of umber and ochre

I could not paint you if I tried.

Beauty for Freedom

Passion held in restraint

A hesitant confidence

Familiar contours of wildness

Purposely rests in an open cage.

Beauty for all seasons

Underlying hilarity…

…Humor simmering

Waiting to be served up

In dainty scoops

From a perfectly burnished vessel.

Beauty for challenge

From a loving Potter

Molded and fashioned

Signs and symbols engraved

Age-old mysteries

For the wise to unravel.

Beauty that I crave

Not in envy, not in lust

Or I will be sadly intoxicated…

…Sinking deep into misery

Only my earnest yearning and quest

Like you, to be burnished, too.
