picture...

for her, from our little twin bed at the beach...

i will

  never forget

    the way

      the sun

        lit your

          body through

            the window

              that morning

                as you

                  slept perfectly

you were

  more beautiful

    than i

      have ever

        seen you

i grabbed

  my camera

    and took

      your picture

        to save

          that moment

            for always---

 

i look at it every day

Author's Note

for the record...she is beautiful

[Libby McKeown]

I love it. The last line is very potent and real, and it's amazing how beautifully articulate one sentence can be, and how powerfully one series of words relay the strength of your feeling. I'm beyond moved.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is very beautiful. I like the story and the emotion of being content and happy. The ending was very good. A wise person knows when he has something precious in their life. A outstanding poem.
