    A PICTURE OF YOU

     TODAY I FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU
    IN THE ATTIC OF MY MIND.
    THE VISION OF YOUR LOVELY FACE
    FROZEN THROUGH THE PAGES OF TIME.

    YOU WERE THE LOVE OF MY YOUTH
    A LOVE DESTINED TO NEVER BE.
    THE INNOCENCE OF UNREQUITED LOVE,
    LIKE A SWEET AROMA UNDER A JUNIPER TREE.

    IF I HAD IT TO DO ALL OVER AGAIN,
    IT'S YOUR HEART THAT I WOULD CHOOSE.
    BUT IN THIS GAME OF ROMANCE AND LOVE,
    ONE HEART MUST WIN, ONE HEART MUST LOSE.

    AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I STILL SEE YOUR SMILE.
    A BY PRODUCT OF MY HEARTBEAT'S RESIDUE.
    WARM MEMORIES SIMMERING IN MY MIND,
    THE FACES AND TRACES OF YOU.

    WORDS CANNOT TELL THE TRUE STORY.
    A CLASSIC NOVEL LOST BEFORE IT COULD BEGIN.
    MISSING PAGES IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE
    A LIFETIME LOVE GONE WITH THE WIND.

    As I read this poem I couldn't help but hope that I may have had that effect on someone in my youth, I know I look back and sometimes feel the same longing...and who knows what might have been... well written, thanks, mlea

    Well said, I appreciate your love of words and poetry in general. This girl is from 34 years ago and I still think of her.

    glad you have such good feelings about a memeory

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
