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.
