THE BEAUTIFUL ONES

********************

The beautiful one is always

Who walked past you one day

And anointed your eyes-adivine visitor.

You failed to turn

and look back at such beauty,

And you did not wish to meet her again.

 

The beautiful one is forever,

always and ever,

She who grow into grace

under the warmth of your eyes,

Who swayed like a flower

In the sweet spring winds,

And when you went away, she stayed always fresh in your mind, ever fragrant.

 

And the beautiful one-you know her delightful name-

Is she who might have loved you after all,

Who certainly guessed your love and waited eagerly for you,

But she is one whose heart it's just as well you did not wound-

Ah, the beautiful ones are the only they

Who through your desires

Came and went away,

But who call you now from afar...
