Beauty Revisited Poem by Sonya Florentino

Beauty Revisited

Rating: 5.0


I never held beauty in my hands
So I pretend
And for awhile
She looks lovely again

Smooth skin, bright eyes, dark hair
You would have fallen in love with her

But of course that is all gone
She will never return
But my memory still burns
For what her young warm flesh yearns

We always carry that longing young version of ourselves deep inside. And she is just as alive now, despite the fact that we are aging. I like the way you express this...
