sharon
I tried today to find a poem
a poem that bore your name
one written by someone famous
one of the great romantics

sharon
all I found in my searching
were poets who share your name
and biblical quotes
about the rose of sharon

and one poem that was badly translated from portuguese.

sharon
are you so special
that nobody yet has captured
your essence
the poetry that is you?

Beauty of face
personal grace
strength in adversity
quiet vulnerability
quicksand eyes
shapely thighs

and so much love

sharon
the love I thought I'd never find
and found
in more abundance
than I could have dreamed

you are mine
I am yours
I love you
sharon

My face in your neck
My breasts pressed against your back
My arms around you, cupping yours
a tickle of fuzz at the curve of your rump
My thighs behind yours, knees bent
feet and ankles intertwined
a snuggly blanket
and a soft pillow
