Your Beauty Of Yesteryear Poem by Hebert Logerie

What happened to your incredible beauty?
I don't know. I surmise. I'm shocked and muted
I will not summon your alias or your star name
I'm not going to show you naked in the big window
Time has stolen charms, charisma, life and well-being
You were so paused, refined, attractive and flirtatious.

Woman, Star of the past, you've lost your youthful beauty
You no longer look like Venus, nor the roses of spring.

What happened? I feel flabbergasted and disturbed
You're no longer stunning like the beautiful flowers of May
I'm drunk and disappointed; I can't believe my eyes
From morning until night, I wail and weep. Oh my God
You are presently another person, another woman
I have serious sorrows grazing and plaguing my soul.

Woman, Star of yesteryear, you've lost your beauty
You no longer look like Venus, nor the lilacs of spring.
