She sat with her tall-laced boots
Her red skirt felt like a small rose garden
Touching the warmth of the sun.

Her brown hair was tied into a bun,
Red nail polish,
Slim fingers,
Foot slightly tapping

Her eyes eagerly reading,
Highlighting,
Positioning herself on her seat
From left to right, right to left

Her dark eyes moving around the room,
Scanning, evaluating,
Disguising their feelings between each glance

She sat with a certain silence
A calmness unheard of
Where moments of chatter
Left her at ease
As she rummaged through her thoughts
Like an old cellar waiting for someone
To breathe life into its world of dust.

She was the riddle of one amongst thousands
Or rather the pleasing sound
Amongst chaos.

Was it Stendhal who said, "Beauty is a promise of happiness"...? Physical pulchritude can be a personal deep freeze inside---it isn't always, but surely can tend that way if the bearer becomes an "old cellar."

The boots and red skirt are a nice touch, poetically speaking. Another well-written poem from you!
