The Lift of Her Curse

.

 Such a rash stimulus before
             mine eyes
 which has caused the naïve 
                 reach
                 from
            the likes of i

        Though each day 
             (it seems)
               buffoon 
winks back at me through the
          reflective pane
 a jocund feeling over comes
                  me
   almost becoming ecstatic

      It has many of times
               caused
             the jingle
             yes as in
       rhyme and verse
                 yes
  many passionate words
        from the lift of

             her curse

Although I'm not ecstatic when looking in the mirror, I am glad for what I still have and you remind me that's how we need to accept ourselves.

Ah yes - a study in comparisons, or do I misread? I, myself, am capable of passionate words. Alas, at my age, words is about it. The "reflective pane" has spoken. Love, daver

Dear James, having just passed another birthday, I can relate to the "curse" in the mirror. LOL Your poem about the toll of years on our bodies made me giggle. There are many types of "passion" and I love the way you wove your message in this verse. I have been away the past week. Back home now and hope to catch up on more reading. Love you, Carolyn
