The Bod Āt Oxford
In the atrium
Of the Bodleian Library at Oxford
I spied a woman bathing in a most sensual light
A white, porcelain, sculpture
Frozen perfectly in time
And reminiscent of a Botticelli
A vision come to life
And as my imagination
Began to take me away
I considered, I heard her whisper
But somehow revealed, not a thing
My mind danced with the potential
Possibilities manifesting someday
I saw myself bathing her in bubbles
And Lilacs sensual scents
While decoding her natural features
I felt the yearning of so many eyes
Who found themselves just as mesmerized
Drawn to her radiance
Where I become overly protective of her
To the point of child-like jealousy
For never had I felt the coolness
Of marbled features upon my skin
And the way,
The light,
Just,
Held her there...

Very beautiful Tony! Art can touch our hearts in ways that are surprising....moved by the grace and movement of a statue's portrayal of beauty.....all senses acute in it capture...I like how you portray the observer as almost possessive and jealous of others around taking in the same beauty he is witnessing in this statue at Oxford....as if the statue was made just for him to enjoy....emotions alert to what the porcelain makes him FEEL....Any artform that does that is created by a genius...Art inspires....Beautiful narration of such an experience....You keep getting better and better in your own artform....Love it. xoxxxx Kisses C
