Umbrella

There she stands
Centre stage for all to see
Tall and slender
Precariously she balances.

I reach out for her
Draw her to me
My hand skims her body
Slowly reaches her skirt.

Playful fingers find hidden areas
Delighted her legs spring forth
Displaying the very beauty
Of her delicately placed, adorned skirt.

Gaily she dances around
Dizzily twisting and turning
In the brightness of day shading
She gently tends to my needs.

Personal ballerina takes to toes leaping
Merrily bobbing up and down
As emotional to her performance
Clouds cry a thousand tears for her.

Reaching our destination
Slightly shaken, she leans
Watches me,
Quietly drips, against the wall.

Reminiscent of the day’s fulfillment
We acknowledge one another, silently
Restful knowing we shall be
One, once more.

    Even without the title, the first thing I thought was: Tight Rope Walker… the way you managed to turn the act so into what sounds like very hot passionate intimacy made me forgot at times. This is one of my favorite ploys in poetry, the extended, multi-layered metaphor… and you do it very well. This is close to some of my poetic stylizations.
