Moon-like Beauty!



Moon, fair-like-
Depict a woman’s beauty
In my culture.

Tantalizing -
Her curves firm and supple
Like the elusive moonlight.

Soft and milky white
Her skin attracts the eye -
A moon on the clear lit sky.

Eyes play hide and seek
Hither-tether, appear-disappear
Like the moon and cloud peer.

Secretive and mysterious
Not unlike the distant moon
She leaves you wanting more.

In response to the prompt from One Deep Breath
PS: "Like the moon behind the clouds" was changed to
"Like the moon and cloud peer".

I really like this - lots of wisdom and a little myth mixed in for good measure. Nice!

These two lines really worked for me. This is what keeps me gazing on a bright full moon. Lovely analogy.

Every single one is better than the previous, if that's even possible.. They are all righteous!

Love that last three lines the most. Lovely, lovely work.

Thanks for taking part in PWB's World Poetry Carnival.

Some of the comments touch on what I'd say. I find this piece mythically and sensual.
