William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Exotic, Oriental, Beauty

Exotic, Oriental, Beauty

She has been my cup of tea !
Sweet as honey, this she be !

Times have become translucent.
Hard to feel the essence of her sent.

Sunday - taking her to a silver bird.
Across the ocean – Beijing I heard.

Five times, I have taken her to leave. 
Five times, I came back to retrieve.

During five years, we still communicate.
Getting back together – not to be my fate.

She will be my last cup of tea.
She will be the last love I will see.

Like the essence of translucent time.
It is easy to see through my rhyme.

David Smith November 24, 2023 at 6:31 PM My wife is from the Philippines so I can relate. Married 34 years - 3 children but we had issues around family in Philippines constantly making demands on her. Before internet it was easier. Her beauty even now takes my breath away. Too much makeup can ruin naturally beauty. Stay safe. David in NZ William J. Jr. Atfield November 24, 2023 at 7:40 PM Thank you David “ Stay safe ” I shall . You have been most fortunate “ Married 34 years - 3 children ” I also have three Girls, the youngest 38 to oldest 60 this year. Two Mothers the first six years the second 18 . “ Exotic, Oriental, Beauty ” As my Lover she lasted a little over a year, as a friend some 9 years but no more. I guess thirty years difference may have played a part. 70 at the time I am most grateful for what we had and what I got . At 81 all I am able to do is reminisce . B. J. “A” 2 .
