Army Poem #08: Paradise

She dignifies the earth with her bare feet
As wild bees and swayed willows greet her path.
The breeze and I follow, falling in awe
Toward her until our hands clasp softly
And with utmost gentle fingers I reach
Into her dress; she folds to me and asks
Of my love, but now...struck dumb is my tongue
By her beauty, lost among men since Eve.
Thus I lay her on kindred earth that sighs
Relief, and peeks beneath her modesty.
I loose her strings with all nature’s blessings.
The sun kisses her chest and gumdrop breasts,
I enter a passion born of Eden;
This is love untamed; she is Paradise.
