She Looked At You < !signature-->She stood quite quiet, she emoted cool Just one look at her, yes, nobody's fool; Her temper soothing, her demeanor so calm She was restful to see, no uttered qualm… But when she looked at you… First, you're taken in by her eyes of green Fine lined wrinkles of smiles often seen And straight-away she gazes at you so steadily Right back into your eyes, as your soul she sees… Next, her body is perfect, for a woman her age, You can see she's been hugged, perhaps walked a stage; No airs nor swagger, nor feminine wiles She's solid, not stolid, she'll go many more miles. But when she looked at you… There was something about her, it was in the air Not a forbidden scent no, something beyond compare, Yes, something about her, yes, you may think… Ah, it was when she caught your soul, with her quiet wink. She stood there poised, but just on the brink She watched your face, and knows what you think; Quiet contemplation, with face quiet serene But the wink brought forth to mind, a laughing queen. So when she looked at you… She made you quite pleased to be in the same room you caught yourself without your ever present gloom, She lit up your life, more than you liked to think From all that she gave you, one quick little wink. 22 November, 1999 Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-23-2000).] |

Karilea~ Such a thoughtful gesture of your heart. We share these thoughts and gather sparks of another in our hearts. Such a warm and caring person you are to be thinking of me on this day that walks with the spirits. You found just the right card to remind me of your gentle spirit. Thank you from my heart for yours ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
