‘Aqua Reflections’ poem
As she gave herself permission,
She blossomed and erupted,
in waves of ecstasy,
Of sweet nectar and honey.
Of shimmers of gold dust and sunshine,
Between rumbles of thunder and storm
She is made.
This is the divine woman,
Release her,
Grant her permission,
Set her free,
And you will experience her waves of love, and her scent of blossom so sweet.
She is syrup,
She is honey,
A heady scent of apricots and berry;
Her porcelain skin so smooth
Soft and supple,
Warm and tender,
Inviting you to nestle in her splendour;
Like the nectar of a spring flower
Her perfume beckons,
Gently, o’come hither.
For she is made of blossoms
On a long forgotten spring day,
When the sun is warm,
And the birds come out to play.
O’ my sweet sister,
My Goddess within
Without you I am nothing,
With you I am the Universe,
I am everything.
This is the divine woman - release her,
Set her free,
Grant her permission,
And watch her soar higher;
Feel her power,
Feel her heathen roar,
Feel her tremble,
Feel her shimmer.

framing presentation
‘A complimentary frame does significantly more for a piece of art than just mounting it, it brings out the true colour and impression of the piece to fill the entire room adding elegance and a personal touch of style’
