Another day has come and gone. The moon is in full view. I lie in bed and marvel at The beauty that is you. I touch your cheek with gentle hand, Smile as my fingertips Trail slowly down to rest upon The fullness of your lips. Angelic in repose you are. Your face sets off a glow That only lovers who can give Their all will ever know. Your eyes, your ears, your nose, your lips Your cheeks, your brow, your hair Combine to make a masterpiece I find beyond compare. Although your face in stillness lay I see it as you smile I see it as you face the day In your own pixie style. I see it as you frown at all Injustice you may find I see it take angelic tones When you're just being kind. I see it as the teardrops fell When sadness came to call I see it pensive, lost in thought, I see it rise and fall. I think back to the golden days I thought would never pass When fingers slid down silky skin Instead of hardened glass. Our lives were filled with memories Impossible to keep. I gently lay your picture down And cry myself to sleep. |

Balladeer~ Even with the twist ... it's exquisite poetry. The master story-teller has rested and come back with a fervor. Truly beautiful, my friend. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I loved this. It went from love poem to dark in a matter of seconds, I loved the transition. |

Thanks to you all for your warm comments. I had originally intended to write a simple, romantic poem but my O Henry chromosome kicked in and, well, this is what happens! Thanks for reading. |
