The Complexities Of Beauty...For Someone Poem by r james sterzinger

when the bright sunshine competed
with her smile
and lost

when the late night stars
refused to shine
out of deference to her eyes

when the wind played with her hair
and the breeze whispered love

take that day again, and remember it
hold it, embrace its every detail
tie the memory to you
like a satin bow

never, ever let it get away

so when you are as alone
without her as you are now
the walls won't close in
the gun will stay in the case
the bottle in the cupboard

you won't do anything too foolish
just because you remember

you had the complexities of beauty
in your reach for a moment
