This is a poem I wrote in 2000,in a down time.

Exquisite one


 


 


Exquisite one


your teeth are little pearls, luminous


in your smile


eyes the purest aquamarine


could not compare


your scent like the sweetest hay


body taut even after all these years


how do I keep you


women must want to


throw themselves into your arms. 


 


And me, rolling my energy into the dust


a has been, yes


once my eyes were aquamarine too


now hidden under furrows of yesterday’s skin


my body soft


I know


the value of exercise


and diet


for a woman of yesterday


who does not


live for today


is truly


a has been


invisible.

Intensely powerful lines. The aspect of self criticism poses a welcomed challenge for me but I find the poet's courage to put it in there admirable and beautiful.

"a has been
invisible." Whoa!
What Mother Nature giveth, Father Time taketh away.
This one is so true. I hope you've now overcome these facts.
Very well written, Janet.

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
