for my alice

 thank u for this piece dearest contributor...

For my Alice:

How relaxed and restful you do look
Enthroned there amongst your many books

Your two feet up and easily resting
A shoulder bare, white, suggesting

The stockinged limbs, so softly sheer
A thigh, (or two?), discreetly bare

The brightly shining long blonde hair
A hand to hold, to please, to care

You are a marvellous vision that I have glimpsed
Truly, my own beloved biblio-nymph
