The Other Side

in #poetry7 years ago

She is sleek and tender

Hands feel as soft as fir pines

But their grip is as an eagle

Shoulders so smooth, they look streamlined

But grief has made them sag

Eyes that hold us captive

But we don't know how much tears they've shed

And those lips we long to kiss

Have cried out many times in anger

Legs long and dark as ebony

Many miles have they walked

Walked out of anger

Walked into danger

Walked into the heart of a stranger

The other side of her

That's the side I love to see

The beautiful frowns on her face

The unsure smiles on her lips

The happy tears in her eyes

And the love of me in her heart
