She Was Merely Poem by William F Dougherty

She Was Merely



The palm of a bestowing hand,
a tendril's ringlet to the vine;
merely a primrose in the tare,
merely grape to wine.

Merely raindrops to swell a seed,
a candle lit to right a wrong;
merely the lips that loft a prayer,
merely breath to song.

Merely a most beautiful poem, merely a most beautiful woman.
