![]() 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. ~*~ 22 November, 1999 revised, 31 May 2002 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (09-27-2002 07:47 AM).] |
