She came upon a meadow, then she undressed;
And when she was naked, the meadow blushed.

Softly she tread, floating above the clover
Seas.  Suddenly lost, bold honey bees forgot
The scent of flowers blooming.  Iridescent wings,
Humming birds, monarchs, dragons, flying in
Procession and the mushrooming dew now rising
Began to swell, raining upwards into the mystic
Blue heavens and the trees beyond that clearing
Stood longingly amazed, so green their spying
Gaze, when all the myriad flowers loosely fell
And all the gathering of colours faintly dimmed.

She came upon a meadow, then she undressed;
And when she was naked, the meadow blushed.

Bright moon, perfect, full,
Her *******, unbound in starlight,
Heavens outnumbered.
Seán Mac Falls Dec 2014
Your face,
Tender, round and dimpled,
Framed with gilded, carved, tawny curled
Whirlpools of hair, long, lighted, and sparkling,
Your face is the face—
Of Ireland.

Your lips,
Full, moist and deathly deep,
Are wells, not well for me, not safe, taboo,
Tantric, tall told tales of brave Odysseus
Under Circe's alchemies
Of forgetfulness.

Your *****,
The zenith of blossom in fabled
Elysium, gateway to the forbidden gardens
Of sage and sinners, warrior-poets, Aphrodite's
Envy, Poseidon's drowning
And smoldering Zeus.

She rose to greet me,
Flowing hair, sparkle eyes spoke,
Poem before words.
Seán Mac Falls Nov 2014
She smiled, those eyes of greeting,
Doors opened with moving breeze,
I entered the drawing room, amused
As I crept with creeks from the hard
Wood floors at the foot of the stairs,
Throughout her abode, finery draped
And sheer linens played with the sun
Round her body.  We drew the curtains
That led the light and waited for dark,
A kettle broke in and filled our cups
By the bay windows that burst, pierced
Into her lovely gardens, we had some
Tea and talked of travels and seasons
Huddled in the glassy mirror of nook,
Of her white conservatory, at the table
Already made with silver and crystal
And song birds sang in the open airs.

Always in a field  .  .  .
Wild flowers— a bunch to pick,
  .  .  .  Herself a bouquet.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2014
In a flower field—
Blue irises, tendril hairs,
Saw her disappear.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2014
Hazel tree, long breeze,
Young tendril branches stretching,
Woman combing hair.
Seán Mac Falls Sep 2014
Petals of flower—
Impossible freshness, breaks day,
Her eyes opening.
Seán Mac Falls Sep 2014
Undressed by window,
Her body enthralls the moon,
  .  .  .  I am left blinded.
