Her skin was soft


Her skin was soft as a ripe peach
Her eyes sparkled like the morning dew
Her nose tilted in a seductive way
I wanted to reach out to touch her hair
Sitting side by side that we now were
But we were in church at morning prayer

  3. Not a bad place to recognize spiritual beauty that often causes the physical body to look beautiful too.
    Sweet six.

  5. This was great, it is true that the mind sometimes tends to wander a bit during long church sessions. It sounds like it might be difficult for a young man to ignore this beauty sitting next to him. :-)

  8. Oh, how our minds wander in church. Poetical description that left me with a big smile at the end.
