What is The Point of Such Beauty

What is The Point of Such Beauty

 

When she entered a room she

would always

stand out and light up like some

  kind of feature ..

Indeed, she then had, without

any doubt whatsoever,

an abundance of outstanding

beauty and charm

  not to mention, buckets of poise ..

But did I ever once

mention, that with only the very

slightest of touches,

she would not only warm up but

lighten and fill

even the most inhospitable of

places and darkest

assembly halls, while breathing

fresh life into long,

  cold and redundant boudoirs ..

But at the tail-end

  of yet another, very long day ..

Time itself, decided

   to pay a one-off unarranged visit

and insisted on

 stealing a kiss, but it kissed too

hard, too long

and too deep until like over-ripe

wind fallen fruit

she then bruised and eventually

  just withered away ..

Ahh, the one that got away Nev... we all have at least one of those, do we not?
I had one at school who was so beautiful that I couldn't even talk to her. I used to just smile at her because that made her smile back.
Who knows, if I'd stuck with it she'd probably have said hello to me by now. Or at least tell me to obey the restraining order.
I did become expert at staring at her black beast rap of her left shoulder (she sat in front of me in some classes)
If it weren't for some shoddy school desk planning we'd probably be married by now, sigh! 😀

No, it was the lovely Susan that captured my young heart. Sigh!

A tender piece, holding both the glow and the cost of beauty. You show how a presence can warm a room, then how time quietly takes it back. soft, mournful, and beautifully restrained.

You ma'am are far too kind .. but I love it .. don't ever change but just stay warm, safe and well and of course, write on .. Neville 😎🌻👍

[Ken Simm.]

There is always a point in such descriptive love. Just saying. And very well written, my friend. Even if it didn't last.

[Neville]

Many thanks brother Ken .. I sincerely hope all is now good in Kens world up there .. Neville 😎👍

[Beren]

Oh captain my captain! I love when you show your heart and admit that you’ve been bewitched. Vulnerable and totally under spell… deep words as always. Adore your endings.

[Neville]

My word, what an absolutely lovely thing to see on first opening my eyes this fine early spring mane .. You made this old fella glow mistress B .. Neville 😎🌻👍

[John Sullivan]

That curious light a woman can have, that glow... when you're in love and the world seems to be all sunshine... anyways. Lovely to see writing from you, Nev. Hope all is well.

[Neville]

Humungous thanks on their way kind sir .. Things could be worse .. maybe .. still gotta keep smiling Neville 😎👍

[John Sullivan]

The pleasure is mine, good sir Neville. As always. Do keep trying to smile. Makes the world a better place, I think.

Such a beautiful story Neville. Time has a habit of bringing decay with it. I thought of the camellias in my garden trellised to the wall. Tinctured with decay and falling on the crazy paving before they truly bloomed. The she here will fade and die regardless, but what a memory she will leave. A bouquet of a poem. Scented and lovely and full of metaphor.
