Steps

Her face sticks in the mind
Her smile, dimple and eyes
My heart accommodates her.
Like a home the heart opened its door
Opening to reveal its hospitality
Remembering the smile she gave to me.

Her sway was a dance
When she took to walk
So soft and graceful.
Steps she made across my heart
Leaving marks to be remembered
That once she traveled road of my feelings.

She spoke to sweep
Ground of a littered heart
Stained with the days and seasons.
Her words like song
Calm and comforting................
Winds that came from her lips.

Here I am today
Like a mirror reflecting that one moment
That I met her.
Sure I would love to meet her again
Speak a word or two
This that I wish to say.

you've captured that moment very well, both visualy and emotionally. There are a couple of sentences in there which require decifering, which I felt spoiled the flow a little, still enjoyed very much.
