A Picture of You

When you Love someone who is far away

A PICTURE OF YOU

As I look into deep into your eyes

Your true beauty shines like the sun

a new warmth touches my heart

That has turned cold through the years

I am mesmerized by the movement of your lips

Always smiling, warm and gentle

as I listen to the sweetness of your voice

speaking words of kindness, words of love

Your hair shines like silk

as it wavers in the gentle breeze

I can smell the essence of your sweet perfume

as it pervades the air I breathe

like a bouquet of fresh flowers.

I reach out with a loving hand

 to touch your face (a beauty so rare)

to feel the softness of your rose petal skin

It is then, I realize much to my dismay

that those beautiful eyes are looking at me

only from a picture of you.
