As I stare at your picture
A photo from 1971
An 8th grade classroom photograph
Of which I so often gaze upon
An image of you Sharon
Engraved on the walls of my heart
No artist could ever replicate
A portrait of such beautiful art
You and I only fourteen years old
I can’t help but wonder your thoughts
As you sat there with your classmates
Your image on film by camera caught
And here sit I 52 years later
In awe of your beauty
As I have countless times
My hypnotic gaze so acutely
You not yet aware
Of my attraction to you
Your secret admirer
Steadfast and true
And now I see you everyday
Your radiant smile
The look in your eyes
Your own certain style
I’ll go to my grave
My final resting place
And within my spiritual heart
Will be your beautiful face

Wonderful lovelorn words AP, it is such a shame that all you have are memories and that picture from so long ago.
Andy
Thanks Andy. I see it as a blessing, for were I to see it from a negative viewpoint, well I guess that just wouldn't be me. I live my life thankful that I had her in my life for as long as I did. And I still feel that she'll always be part of my life. 🙂👍
this is indeed a love poem that will stand the test of time
Thanks N. And hopefully within her heart, longevity stands for something. 🤔
