A Beauty Constance

Written, by Eric Warr
A Beauty Constance
In Response to the poem
Ode To My Face, written by Constance La France
_________________________________________________

There are no words that can explain.
No written phrase;
nor vocal utterance that can restrain
your beauty - a faceless tenant.

Within your eyes are depths untold.
To hold their gaze;
to pique your soul with a reckless 
and brittle heart - a foolish falter.

Your face does hold Winter's past.
Pale flushed snow;
with evening's comfort tinted, and 
lipstick - the winter heath adorning
downs of joy and sorrow - behold.

A nose is sacred, divinely sculpted;
your hearth's mantel.
Permit your tenderness to exhale -
let warmth escape - giving solace.

Counted wounds from past that 
rent and ever borne;
and to see your face in the mirror
do cherish - for if another worn, 
alike you'd be in different shades.

Yet grace us all with just a glimpse,
your written soul;
upon the pages fragmented, your 
true face - breathtaking and unique.

Your reflection on a leaf - 
a pale warm light aflame within;

and in the mirror seen - a radiance;

a beauty . . .  Constance

An Ode To My Face


I would like to write an Ode to my face.
It is not beautiful at all,
but more unique-
Oh yes, my nose is way too big,
my skin too pale so I must apply blush,
and my lips pale without lipstick.
I have been told my eyes are deep and sad-
to look into them will break your heart.
My history is written within my face-
some say breathtaking . . .  some say different.
