The Rib

Love at first sight was the 
language she spoke
A sight to behold
to the angels she woke
A creation with broken mold
from the Divine
The description of beauty
branded in the mind
A angelic appearance 
her presence defines
What to do with this spirit?
That forever clouds my eye's
An ocean that desire
could not drain
A torment, envy
could not name
Both heaven and hell
she is the same
The possession of beauty
an undeniable claim
A wondering star
in the universe of her name
Both heat and light
brought forth by her flame
The invisible force 
filling my sail
Where rudders direction
succeed or fail
Secret confessions to my 
soul been nailed 
my desire to possess 
and my controls impaled
My eyes silence being hailed
by souls satisfaction fully regaled
The unforgettable sight
that memory cannot fail
captured by photo or ancient
paint brush. Not for sale.
Perfection and it's causes
Divinely detailed
Reflections and its pauses
hopes derailed

Makes me glad I wasn't married. She's not the only beauty out there that I have not named or shown this for them. Maybe when I pass and this is printed for me they will get this in their old age and remember I loved them. I'll name them now Heather, Donnetta, Cynthia. Michelle, Sherry and who did I miss....

Charming and repelling at the same time. Wishing to own, but slipping out of hand.... ! Who is she.... ? A Goddess or demon ? Very emotive ....

Superbly done! Heartfelt description speaks of love and longing never shared, wanting to explore more. You should show it to her her-she will like it.

Sometimes love can be one-sided, and it seems it has happened in your relationship with this person. Some people are very difficult to get along with and it is best to leave them alone. I enjoyed reading this very descriptive and emotive work about your love. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

She's a friend I've known many years. I don't know if I'll let her see this?

There is a mystery and intrigue in your poetry that I find fascinating. It feels like there may be a special woman that is loved, yet hard to understand or know…with heart break involved. Anyway, I enjoyed this!

It was writen for an old friend of whom every word is true when we meet some 30 years ago. We have a friendship today but I still wont tell her this.
