Her beauty conquers all - I heard it said -
Yet young unsure of what it meant I sought
An answer from old sources, and thus read
The works of greats of yore - but still was fraught
With same uncertain doubt, no words would seem
The truth reveal nor cast a knowing light
Onto the shadowed mind; the wildest dream
Would not dispel the clouds that shaded sight --
So I touched this beauty, I felt her gaze
Hot-pierce my soul, her whispers my heart stay,
Her lips - the kindling - stoke my inner blaze  --
To her conquest, I but a willing prey:
Ah, but too late I found her hidden flame
Onto my heart had seared the former claim.

Thank you for stopping by and reading/commenting.
Strangely, many things one does not realize at the time, till at some point one rewinds the movie of one's life...and things come into focus. Of course, this is an on-going process...always learning, and, yes, making mistakes as well - hopefully less as time goes on.
