.

I’ve known fair skin and supple form
Long hair in which a patient man
Could spend his one life wandering
And never find the way

Through petty kingdoms I have roamed
Nearby next door and in distant lands
And found in all those pretty royalties
No colors worth the stay

It’s the absence of arrogance
That finally makes you beautiful

That this world as goes
Through its many toils
Is not no more
Than different shades of fool
Who for all the years must as a rule
Still center on your whole

I watch those eyes
As they read the page
Look up and then behind their hue
See a woman who quietly
Blesses the space in which she moves
And ennobles the heart
That would be hers

NT,

Thank you.

This and “Genesis” came by virtue
of woman I saw for all of five minutes at best
at a theatre box office.

Some never ever go away.

Thanks again.

John

I absolutely loved this verse, John...and think the person who can write like this has a deep understanding of women.

NT,

Thank you again.

All you really have to do is pay attention.
The hard part is convincing anyone you do . . .

nice to have a clean heart about woman.

what if she noticed your staring? then the next poem would surly be better than this one.

sigh!
