Magpie 101: Tenderness.

Echko Namazawa


Stage doll of Nipon
Dancing through my
Nights of magic.

Body of grace and
Exquisite face were
Beyond lust.

But while I slept,
She came once unbidden
To my room.

Waking to soft hands,
I should have, but could not
Send her away.

...............

Many read this poem at its last outing and I pray your indulgence again. She still lives in the loveliest of my memories where beauty and wonder never fade.

This memory prompted by Tess at Magpie Tales.

  8. Oh, Stafford, this is so sensual. Really wonderful. And it contains one of my most favorite words: unbidden.
