BODY OF A
WOMAN
Adolf P. Shvedchikov
Body of a woman, oh secret of opal!
For many centuries poets and artists
Tried to describe your enigma
But you kept your wonderful secrets
Oh those alluring curves of a woman’s body
Mother-of-Pearl color of Aphrodite’s skin!
Soft like the body of a Botticelli.
Voluptuous body of a Rubens.
The body of Picasso, Rembrandt.
Modigliani…
Miriad artists have painted a woman’s body
Every generation has tried to find your secrets
Like Phoenix you are reborn everytime
Charming
again and again!
