He felt inspired by a woman’s long shaved legs and natural breasts <br />Their milky complexions of flavor drove him to create his best <br />Erotically challenged and romantic blissfulness in poems for them <br />His narratives and his eclectic humor combined <br />Were enough to make one laugh or make another cry <br />He loved to view fields of rolling greenery beneath the skies of Ireland <br />Or standing there on the cliffs overlooking the churning sea <br />Like a child born free and innocent he would make these trips <br />To faraway places in his graying head…. <br />It was so easy for him to recall the places and things he knew <br />When he looked at his one true love lying there…. <br />He was compelled to follow her….<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-open-casket-funeral-for-his-muse/
