Drawn back in a ponytail
There are more than a few
Strands of hair that insist upon
Their freedom around your brow

I have found as well there are
A few things I cannot change
However hard I may try
And I have tried more than
You will ever know

A summer breeze cools us
As we walk along the shore
Seagulls gyre in a deep blue sky
Above the bay

It seems I have no choice
But to spend my days
Always loving you
There’s nothing else to say

A sad, but exquisite painting that lingers long in the mind's eye. What a beautiful name she has too, Russian, I am almost certain.  Russian is a language that fascinates me with its vibrant music and an alphabet that has some letters similar to those of Attic Greek with which I was passionately in love when I was studying it, but which I have long since forgotten (well, most of it), to my dismay.  Would love to make the time, to study it again - but I am rambling - but it is your poem that led me down paths of long ago.

One of those poems that seems to be a part of all that was or will be.

Returned or not, some loves stay with us and define us.

And I have tried more than
You will ever know

Having tried too long without success, this goes straight to my heart. Beautiful work!
