Undressed

a pitcher of sunshine
pours through undressed
window glass
a pure liquid gold
to pool on white sheets
crumpled in disarray
drenching exposed toes
kissing ankles
to settle on veiled thighs
how warm starts my day

Dear Chris, this is just my kind of dream writing. I wonder, how did I miss this gem? What you did here was create a visual that melts in the readers minds, a pitcher of pure, overflowing gold, the undressed glass is in no position to resist and then it goes on to pool in bliss on white sheets in early morning dissarray. Loved it and repeating it because I'm enjoying it so much. "how warm starts my day" - speaks to me of an abundance of gratitude and joy. And here's me, wishing you countless mornings of such unforgettable poetry. Write on, my friend, you did such wonders here, as always!

What a lovely way to start a day - and a poem, too! I want to sleep with you just to feel that pitcher pour on me! But no funny business! My wife would have my head -- and yours, too! Another terrific piece.

Ha ha. Thank you for that very warm review FlatDaddy. I wouldn’t want to risk the ire of that wife of yours. I prefer my head is firmly on my shoulders lol. All the best.

Nor would I, but 33+ years now, and we have never had a serious argument. Does that mean I cave at every minor flare-up, or can't have my own opinion about something? Just a sec, I'll ask her ... oh, sweetiekins ...

Lovely and sensous morning poetry. Liquid Gold sun rays on sheets, no curtains but veiled thighs all fill in vivid imagery of intimate and tender moments.. enjoyed it dear Chris!

Love the image of liquid sunshine drenching toes, kissing ankles, and slowly spreading slowly to veiled thighs. It is a deliciously vibrant image to wake the senses--even in a cloudy day.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Victor. Pleased you enjoyed my poem. Have a good weekend.
