rocky mountain beauty
green eyes
God made first
proportioned everything else
complementary
Xanadu, my girl of the mountains

she had her style
I was beguiled

mountain streams
touched by Paradise
so too, this
rocky mountain beauty
panache personified
elegance to my aw shucks Arkansas raw

she saw in me
chaste potpourri

eagles soar o'er imposing peaks and crags
I expel my breath
at such magnificence
lost in the still of the moment
rocky mountain beauty
takes my hand

together one
love has begun

breath catches in my throat
shortness, hard to breathe
not because of
thin mountain air
no
rocky mountain beauty

thudding of heart
clean off the chart

simple things
unhurried strolls . . . out-of-the-way places
rocky mountain beauty
made spectacular out of the ordinary
soft voice
softer hands cupping roadside flowers

my love, my all
God, I stood tall

remembrance of our short romance, painful
rocky mountain beauty
touched my soul
while there, she aided and abetted my
maturity
manhood took center stage

she made me feel
I was a deal

time dulls so many things
I cannot recall
fuzzy thoughts of yesteryears
except one, stamped indelibly within my heart
rocky mountain beauty
Dee

maybe sometimes
I cross her mind

I can relate. Got one or two special places in the old memory banks myself. I too, would like to think I'm remembered every now and then. Enjoyable. Peace.

Well done Jerry

The back drop of nature makes a perfect setting.
I'm guessing she does!

I’ve never got close to any beauty, just stood in admiration many  times and they were gone in a flash. Fine writing Jerry.

In the end this piece kinda gives off a sense of hope. Hoping she thinks of you at least once in a while. I like it.

Hi Trina, You know, within the last year I attempted to see if Dee was still alive and kicking. Wasn't able to. Thank you for reading me, it is very complimentary.
