Her beauty stunned me.

She was someone I could fall for,
Talking with her told me that.
Smart, witty, flirty, and kind
She had all that I found attractive
Before I even laid eyes on her.

Her beauty stunned me.

As I looked at her photo,
Ivory skin with full, darkly painted lips
Flashing a coquettish smile,
And mischievous lovely eyes
Framed by that brilliantly red mane.

Her beauty stunned me.

Striking is the first thought I had
Exciting and absolutely beautiful.
My hands hovered over my keys,
My mind not able to focus
Forgetting what I was about to say.

Her beauty stunned me.

We chatted more, I relaxed some
Then we said our 'so longs'
And she signed off for the day
As I sat there, staring at her picture

Because her beauty stunned me.

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
Nil Desperandum, Fata viem invenient

(big hugggsssssss) I know this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, sadly though I was duped as I loved Joanna with all my heart but she never really loved me and now we are apart and she never talks to me again! (sad sigh) I hope this case is an exception and this is true joy, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet JP, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sometimes its enough to know they really did care for us once..and those picture...will always be somewhere...Well, for me that is. I think you and I shared the same experience around the same time once. That certainly seems like a long time ago now doesn't it?

Reading your work these days and loving it as always, JP.
