what
once was clear,
in
stark relief, with details
engraved
with diamond tipped tools, on a crystal plate
the
smile, the colors of your eyes on a cloudy day,
the
almost dimple in your left cheek
affect,
produce heart pounding,
blood
racing, trembling hands,
speechlessness,
caring, concern
infatuation
embedded
with the image
feelings
return with the details when recalling
this image years later,
hand
trembling at a gentler pitch,
heart
racing at a slower rate, respectful of my age,
the
color of your eyes were blue, no green, light then, no, dark,
and
your hair was tossed by the wind
but
was it long or short?
What
once was clear is now covered
by
loosely woven cloth,
not
hiding, but obscuring details,
that were once so clear
