FOR CHAMMI

This poem was written a long time ago. Like most of the poems i have posted so far, it was written at the beginning of my foray into poetry writing. It is actually a poem written for a woman, who i consider to be one of the most awesome of the beautiful ladies i have had cause to be in love with over time. She influenced the way i relate with people in a huge way and i am always grateful. I have sought her blessings to post this poem here, and she gave them. Unfortunately though, i gave her the first verse, she has never seen the second. hehehe....Do enjoy.

FOR CHAMMI

Liquid eyes glittering

Like jewels on a sun bleached beach.

Lips pouting like a hybrid rose

Without the thorns.

Limbs stretched like ivory tusks,

Men still fight for it.

Hands strong and soft

And like a doe you stand

Proud with head held high.

I wish this picture were eternal.

I wish this painting were permanent.

But age will tell its story.

Breasts will sag and stomach flab;

Cheeks will droop and hips loose

But I’ll always remember you

In your youthful glory

When you were beautiful and mine.

For you, Chammi.
