Poem Title:
Poem
what made her unworthy of love was it because she couldn't live up to your ideal that she lost her appeal? You lived for the surreal now too numb to feel Tell me, what was the deal? what made her fall from grace was it sun spots on her face her flannel instead of lace her slower than youthful pace? Was that why she lost her pedestaled place? Do you look at her and see something other than beauty? Is she flabby instead of firm militant instead of meek the lurid side of lovely tell me! what could it be? when did she go from pleasure treasure to discarded at leisure What was the measure of your detestable displeasure? let's me be clear: "love is in the eye of the beholder" Here's a tap on your shoulder instead of a fist in your face I won't add to the disgrace yet your problem prevails it's in the details: you're beholder beholden to your own foolish fantasy of what your woman should be what you can't see is just what makes others all agree: SHE'S A Bountiful BEAUTY! Her body and soul every part of the whole exquisitely enhanced by the years and by chance she deserves desire's delirious dotage not apathetic apathy Can't you see? maybe.... maybe you are the one not deserving to decree her worth, her esteem she's gone now go dream scream try to serve up a scheme to love her up to extreme She won't fall again! that is true! You see, dear The problem, the problem is YOU! Eileen Manassian
