I stand face to face
Looking at eyes like mine.
Emotions showing on her quiet face,
So quiet I would have missed her
Had she not seemed so like me.

I reached forward to touch her
Because I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
Never have I known anyone
Who feels the things I feel so fully.

Her eyes are so sad.
It’s as if something is missing in them…
Light! That’s it!
Her eyes don’t have the light of life in them.
I wonder what happened to extinguish it.
To put out the twinkle in those big brown eyes.

She looks away shyly as I examine her face.
I don’t think she likes being stared at.

Too much attention maybe?

She really should smile,
I bet she has a nice one.
A frown makes a person look so much older.

Sigh…

As I turn to walk away
I take one last look at her…

“I really should get that hair cut.”

Wow is right. Woman in the mirror perhaps, doing a self-examination of one's own thoughts. Love the word play, kept me intrigued. Excellent piece!!!

Hey SHAWNIE - this is quite the fabulous introspective... It's as if your viewing what should be "20/20 hindsite" Very nice wordplay within... The last line made me laugh in a "damn - I know this feeling o-so well" kinda way.

Very nice piece of writing - Thanx for sharing it!

Jacquii.



“I do use powerful words to evoke emotion, but also to stimulate imagination. If one can 'see' the words dance before
his eyes - then he can likely feel, smell and even taste them as well. And I do thoroughly enjoy really tasty poems.
My poetry is an emotions-fest sprinkled with a little garlic salt, Mrs. Dash, fresh ginger and Tabasco sauce...
My poetry is like a piece of General Tso's chicken tossed in ghetto soul.” --- MsJacquiiC

Shawnie...wow...I think all of us have been there...searching that person standing in front of us...even wondering what other people see. I loved it!
