Analysis of Naked



She walked naked
within the warmth of night
her beauty bent the moon rays
of reflective light.

While her firm round breasts dripped
with sweat upon the ground
for she walked on fallen leaves
which filled the air with a crunching sound.

Her golden hair hung done upon her shoulders
that cradled gently upon her soft skin above her back
where the light of the moon surrendered her soul
within the night of black.

Her rosy lips suckled with a quiver
on the breezing cool air
while my heart pounded vigorously
for a wanting love affair.

I watched her slender figure
swaying at her hips,
while her vision of loveliness
disappeared before the moon's eclipse.

I do not know where she came from
and I do not know where she went
I only know I love her
as she must be heaven sent.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
