The seventh and final part in a series of poems on love and longing.\u00a0 This one is about beauty that can make time stand still.<\/p>\n
In a white shirt and blue jeans,
\nEven from far, beautiful she seemed,
\nHer laughter and smile felt in the breeze,
\nPlease don\u2019t let my heartbeat cease.<\/p>\n
Unexpected and unknown, beautiful and alone,
\nUnder a shroud of mystery, beauty in overtones,
\nA coy look and a quick fixed gaze,
\nIs all that is needed to make the heart race.<\/p>\n
Who are you? Where did you come from?
\nWhat is this beautiful song I hear the birds hum?
\nDon\u2019t look at me with your hidden glance,
\nThe smile that you try to hide, makes my heart dance.<\/p>\n
Your eyes speak more than your words,
\nFluttering eyelids, like the flight of a bird,
\nAs you brush past, swathed in silk,
\nTime stands still, beauty and mystery still a thrill.<\/p>\n
