a poem for her

pale eyes

a hazy summer sky

or a mountain seen from miles away

restless, craving, never calm

she falls

how can she be so frail

and yet so strong

what draws me to her

half-crazed with doubt

pale skin

a winter morning

or a storm cloud ripe to bursting

wanting to be touched

she waits

how can she be in love

and yet be alone

what needs lie there

unfulfilled

This is a beautiful poem. I am sure the girl that it is written for really appreciates it. But she probably doesn't have such eloquent words as yours to tell you.

my crude portrait hardly does her justice.
