Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

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
