Her face I see in the world about,
In rivers and mountains and sea,
My love for her is ne'er in doubt,
I visit beauty with eidetic imagery.

She's in my dreams and endless thoughts,
A vision splendid... pure in self,
A being serene who couldn't be bought,
By a man with little or blessed by wealth.

So, atop her pedestal, she stands,
A woman blessed with seductive ways,
I reach for her with loving hands,
But, out of reach, she always stays.

She's an Angel of sorts... with her angelic way,
With her pedestal gone - she'll always get by,
For the sages perceive the truth when they say,
That God made sure... all Angels can fly.
          

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Comes from the greek word "image" english translation photographic memory. There has been many words that I myself have had to look up myself. Reading PIP has been very insightful. Thank you always for you kind comments.
