A Pretty Face

a pretty face has haunted my mind
all day today hundreds of times
yesterday she sat next to me
it captured my attention to a certian degree
and today i wondered what could it mean
i lost myself with in her dream 
my thoughts have now turned into schemes
what to say and what this means
six more days untill i see her
and i wonder if she'll be more clearer
if she intended to be more dearer
like a child with a dream yet i still am
it's not a new thing it's as old as i am
infactuation or what ever it is
something inside me that i let live
what will i do with it, i have to choose
it's part of the game i can win or lose

Love in its early stages is indeed intrigueing. I was surprised to find but one poem in your listing, John. Starting over? My list is getting pretty unwieldly, that may be the way to go. Thanks for your kind comments. Love, Joyce

Dear John, you have me wondering who this woman is. Very compelling poem. I hope you have found true love. What happened to all of your other poems? I just returned from a trip and sent you an email thanking you for the lovely birthday card. You are so sweet to remember me. God bless you, love, Carolyn
