Poised

Feeling like a winged one 

Poised high above the skyline

looking down at the lights of this life

slightly timid of frail wings

Even when you're far away
Drifting in your thoughts
There is no woman like you
With warm eyes and that poised look

You sat there in your faded dress,
A place,
A world away.
Not centre of attraction,
Poised to leave,
A thousand miles across the room.

withers away, leaf by leaf ~

poised at the divine altar,
blaming it on gravity?
