In the distance I hear your anklets chime
With your every step as they rhyme
The soft tinkles of your green glass bangles
Puts my being in twists and tangles
In front of the mirror you come sit
un turning leisurely your earrings
Unawares, baby you begin to play
music on my heart strings
As you smile, I gaze with fascination
In the mirror, your rendition
Bidding good night, your eyes close
Leaving me to admire, your beauty in repose
You turn and place a kiss on my cheek right
Holding the promise of a stormy night
The battering rains will drench
the earth and in turn quench
The fires that in my heart you lit the first time
When I heard your anklet’s chime
Written from a man's perspective.
