Body and Soul
Jon J Nix 1966 (Georgia)
Invisible spirits shine through your dark eyes.
Your skin is like white puff clouds.
Beauty marks mold your body whole.
Perfume wafts sweet around your ears,
With the scent of roses in your hair.
Petals float in your bath water.
Personalities and relationships are recorded in your diary.
Your soul says it all.
(c) Jon J Nix, Delaware, September 13, 2002
