At One Time

at one time
she thought she had it "all"
love,
the kind of poetry
but not fantasy, 'twas real

security,
a lasting, forever lifetime
of caring and sharing
two as one
drinking in each other
enjoying the differences
offering, accepting

she
exciting, naive, not a beauty
but cute enough
as they say
it's "in the eyes of the beholder"
anyway
her smile...
that's what captured everyone's look
her dimples, her happiness
always showing
as life was so satisfying
simplest of pleasures
enhanced her

her eyes...
hazel
bright, wide open,
absorbing and craving
to drink in every sight
exposed to her
told they were a dead giveaway
to her innermost thoughts
so now she keeps them lowered
so the pain is not detected

her hair...
always long
always soft and flowing
a big part of who she was and is
texture has changed
as years have progressed
yet style remains
despite pressures
she holds onto one thing
that no one can take from her

her eyes have lost their shine
her smile has faded...

i almost missed this poem...glad i found it!
i hope that the woman in the poem isnt sweet maureen.....because if it is...that shine may no longer be in your eyes...but there is a  glow in your heart that just radiates warmth....youre beautiful inside and out dear poet.

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live
