She Is Beautiful

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

when she walked in
I didn't look up

when I turned to my right
she appeared

the first thing I noticed
was her left cheek

and in that small glimpse
I saw her in psychic fantasy

vibrant waves flowing toward me
and I knew

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

when I looked again
she was dancing

and
I stared at her

the second thing I noticed
was her face

wearing the wealth of years
and I thought

she is not as young
as I had imagined

when I looked again
she was staring at me

the third thing I noticed
was her mind

spilling insecurity
across the bar

and I thought
how sad it is

to listen to her doubts
wounding her natural grace

so I told her
that I knew

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

the next thing I noticed
was my body

rising flush
with blood warm skin

and I felt desire
tempered by prudence

confidence
blended with anxiety

she asked for a glass of wine
and I gave it to her

she asked for my name
and I gave it to her

she asked for my name again
but I had no more to give

when she said goodnight
I kissed her left cheek

she seemed confused
and I wonder

what story
she will tell

to herself
to others

but I hope
she will know

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL
