My Eyes Beheld a Goddess

My eyes beheld a goddess The first time I saw you Descending that grand staircase Wrapped in a velvet blue With each step, a raven curl Unfolded in the sway How it danced in candlelight I remember to this day Your dark eyes caught my gaze I was stilled yet my mind pleaded Why would you ever speak to me My heart beats raced, stampeded But then, through lovely red stained lips Your honeyed voice – “ Hello” Began a lifelong friendship And forged a sweet Tableau In honor of by beautiful friend – Diane 8/31/17
