What is The Point of Such Beauty
When she entered a room she
would always
stand out and light up like some
kind of feature ..
Indeed, she then had, without
any doubt whatsoever,
an abundance of outstanding
beauty and charm
not to mention, buckets of poise ..
But did I ever once
mention, that with only the very
slightest of touches,
she would not only warm up but
lighten and fill
even the most inhospitable of
places and darkest
assembly halls, while breathing
fresh life into long,
cold and redundant boudoirs ..
But at the tail-end
of yet another, very long day ..
Time itself, decided
to pay a one-off unarranged visit
and insisted on
stealing a kiss, but it kissed too
hard, too long
and too deep until like over-ripe
wind fallen fruit
she then bruised and eventually
just withered away ..
