Yours To Reap Poem by Patti Masterman

Yours To Reap



And who is this woman, that you should
Give both heart and soul away; this rare beauty
Who has, you say, what none others
Have to give (for both forever and a day)?

Graceful shoulders, arms like stems
Flowered soles from French gardens,
Fragrant, living like the queen
Of nature wild, no mortal sin.

A child one moment, nymph the next,
Her throat vexing, breasts a test
Swanlike legs, beside lagoons
For one touch you'd gladly swoon

Mortal door to human life
Her marshes damp, creation rife,
Her breath breathes flowers, half asleep-
Fields of poppies, yours to reap.

Great inspirations and significant is your phrase field of poppies- a global concern now ethically for drug consumption and United States intervention into it until i do not know if it not leaves the unison of USSR.The rhythms of womanhood were perfect.Specially swan like legs.They have a lot of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology in it.Ecstatic.
