She Looked At You

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
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,
Ah, something about her, yes, you may think…
It was when she captured your soul, with her quiet wink.

She stood there poised, but just on the brink
She watched your face, she knows what you think;
Quiet contemplation, with face quiet, serene,
But her wink brought 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 present gloom,
She lit up your life, more than you liked to think
From all that she gave you, one quick little wink.

How did you know that's how I felt when she looked at me?
Have you been reading my memoirs?

I've felt many of those feelings you describe here. Brings the school boy right out sometimes. You girls are good at that and I love it!
Super write Karilea looking at it from your perspective...nice angle!

Karilea

Sounds like someone I know...maybe with a bit of sun shining on her.  Liked this painting of such a lovely lady!

Where is this woman?  Tell me what room she is standing in so I can get in line for this!!  I felt a little "taken" just reading it.  Wonderful

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
