HER THIGHS LIKE OAK by John Tustin

HER THIGHS LIKE OAK

 By John Tustin

Her thighs like oak
Her steps so light
Her eyes like smoke
On a moonless night

An angel fallen
A bird on the rise
A siren calling
Her words all lies

Her thighs like oak
Her steps so light
Her eyes like smoke
On a loveless night

An angel rising
A bird descending
A night beginning
The daylight ending

Her thighs like oak
Her steps so light
Her eyes like smoke
On a godless night

An angel exposed
With choices few
In maudlin repose
Her words all true


John Tustin started writing poetry again eleven years ago after a hiatus just as long and since then has been published in many disparate locations. fritzware.com/johntustinpoetry contains links to his published poetry online.
