have a little faith

;I am a Woman of Delicacies

I am a woman of delicacies
I like sliced strawberries
in chocolate that melts
Honey that drips
deliciously
onto my tongue
Petite cakes in tiny squares on china plates
Frosting fluffy like a cloud
Buttercream whipped into peaks of perfection

I am a woman of materials
I like shiny things
Sparkly things
Things that glimmer and shimmer in a slice of sun
Flowers and gems
Drops of water
that turn
to crystals.
I like pretty things
to look at
so I don't feel so mundane.

I am a woman of taste
I like bright bouquets with the scent of the earth
All the perfumes of Arabia
Bubbles
that smell like all the places I've never been
Exotic
and warm.

I am a woman of sensuality
I like the feel of things
against my skin
The slip and slide of satin
smooth
Fingertips, soft
Hands that grip tight

I am a woman of dreaming
I like to sit outside
on a swing
in the summer
and watch the sky blush at the evening heat
and pretend.
