A Cameo Beauty With Depth
A lovely young woman
visits a wishing well
each day at the same hour,
she is a vision of a gossamer
and ethereal fairy tale princess
whose braided golden hair
is her crown which makes
her appear as if a cameo figurine.
The smile on her face glows
as she reminiscences about a love long gone,
her prince charming who gave her his heart,
promising a lifetime together and never departing,
his dark and handsome looks were embedded
within her mind, joyous scenes of holding hands,
dancing among the vineyards and butterflies,
taking walks along the freshly-swept cobbled streets,
oblivious of the amused and passing villagers,
her love for him ran deeper than the well,
never shallow and continuously providing.
Their days of joy came to an abrupt end
when her love was called to fight a war on foreign soil,
the day arrived as she waived her tear-stained hanky,
he marched away which was their final goodbye,
a heart-wrenching memory tearing her apart,
at the well she wishes he would return so they
could continue what was left behind.
Their love was solid as the earth forever entombed
within its catacombs having a much greater
depth than any well.
