Show Me

my watch has lengthened
as I sit taking you in
a simple service
in both elegance and grace
i see you. all of you.

your highlighted hair
of blond on auburn brown
and eye shadow of shimmering sands
Maybelline, I believe
brings the desired effect

the reluctant smile
which accompanies you
although present, is lost
on those not seeing
you as the presence you are

i see. i know.
if only by your eyes
an object of my sight and mind
i embrace you as if my own
although we never speak
