Beauty Was Of My Body Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Beauty Was Of My Body



Once
Beauty was of my body
But now not so.

Once
Strength was of my limbs
But not now so.

Once

Flashes of thought
Shot through the brain of
Youth
A fire that burnt quick
Shone
Speeding as the lightning
Speeds:
The halo of strength
And beauty relative was
In my hair:
But now not so.
