Brian Kilpatrick - Female Apparition

If only I was a sculptor
And could capture
This female apparition
When I touch her
The sinews of her back
Are as tight as steel cables
Yet as smooth as ice cream
Filled with hard work
That screams for my attention
The pain burns my fingers
Her shoulders rise like angels wings
Her waist drops breathlessly
To her hips that melt imaginations
With the symmetry of Venus de Milo
And the innocence of a child
