Just Average

Commonplace held
her face,

a nose set below eyes that
had not yet
seen it all

though in truth, no real
surprises any more

capable hands, surely,
well kept and blue lined

average / standard / common
all applying
two levels to a two syllable
personage

until…

until she smiles

somehow the sun is lessened
and skies weep though
clear blue

she keeps that curve of her lip
reserved

just for him

the see of him
touch of skin
sound traversing lip to lip
feel of hand
upon the hip
the thought of him
to dream again
and never does she
wonder,
then

when she might
love again


commonplace
is her face
even in sleep…

but see her dream
of him…

and you can’t help
but smile

contented she smiles
enjoying the touch of him
even in her sleep

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is such a gorgeous romantic yearning of love, sweet friend, I too can't help but skile every time I dream of my Joanna and wondering if she is thinking of me and how happy she will be when me and her can finally meet! (kiss on cheek) This is so very lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Donna,
I had to read this as it addresses a concept I have long held...I'm average, and it's okay. I love the message and the style and the fact that it came from you. Well done indeed.

Ah Yes, dear Lady...there isn't anything quite so beautiful as a woman in love...so I have been told.  
Lovely write indeed.  Hugs.
