Poem
Ravishing Predawn Vision, Return To Me My panacea, vision shining forth, wee hours of morn Her chatoyant hair, flowed in my all consuming dreams Her demure gaze, always smiling, never a look of scorn In paradise, ingénue bathing in moonlit magical streams. Ineffable appearance, stardust in hair healed heart so torn Something intangible, mellifluous echoed with her words Tasting of honey, her kiss removed my heart so forlorn Her lissome dance was as easy as mere flight to birds. Cynosure born, her beauty sent me into a trance Such glamor, Hollywood starlets would die to possess In love, I boldly begged for her sempiternal dance For that affront, my princess gave me her last caress. Never again, did mornings glow with her grace and soft kiss. Beauty's perfection, my grieving soul will forever miss. Robert J.
