A Picture Of You Poem by Brian Smith

A PICTURE OF YOU

TODAY I FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU
IN THE ATTIC OF MY MIND.
A VISION OF LOVE SO DISTANT YET SO NEW
FROZEN IN THE PAGES OF TIME.

MEMORIES AS SOFT AS THE COO OF A DOVE.
AS FRESH AS THE STING OF A HONEYBEE.
THE MISTY INNOCENCE OF UNREQUITED LOVE,
LIKE THE SWEET AROMA UNDER A JUNIPER TREE.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE MAY HAPPEN BY CHANCE.
BUT WE MUST ACCEPT THE COURSE THAT WE CHOOSE.
IN THE GAME OF LOVE AND ROMANCE,
ONE HEART WILL WIN, ONE HEART MUST LOSE.

YOUR MEMORY I STILL CAN FIND.
A BY PRODUCT OF MY HEARTBEAT'S RESIDUE.
WARM MEMORIES SIMMERING IN MY MIND,
THE FACES AND TRACES OF YOU.

WORDS CANNOT TELL THE FULL STORY.
A CLASSIC NOVEL LOST BEFORE IT COULD BEGIN.
MISSING PAGES IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE
A LIFETIME LOVE GONE WITH THE WIND.
Brian Smith
