you didn't see
what was written there
on the back side of my mind
the side that I read
when I leaned over you
to tell you
that you were lovely
as a lady

when you wore the gown
with a neckline heaven
that revealed a woman there
trapped in pretend
wanting to be free
with her feet braless
bare foot running
on the sinful sand

your perfume too
was something unsaid
unspoken the scent
no one would remember it
but could recognize it
on another's skin
if they were close enough
to feel the lonely

I spilled your tea
on purpose there
so you had to move
without thinking
and your woman was exposed
for just a moment
but I grabbed her hand
and wouldn't let her go back

she still struggles in love

You are too much of a good read
to leave this down here, so
to the top you fly...

only you, can do this kind of magic with words.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
