Lost Point of Reference

[Narrow Way Knapper]

Maybe you haven't found a point in some time, or maybe you had one fall out of your pocket. In this case I had one taken from me by the landlord. Anyhow, I hope this poem cheers you up.

Lost Point of Reference

On a steeply sloping berm I saw her
Resting near a brook
There was beauty in complexion
Symmetry to her curves

Filtered sunlight slipping through forest leaves
Exposed her skin to me
Filled my mind with wonder
Stopped my heart with ease

Earth encompassed and root held fast
Preserved her virgin beauty
Till persistence of erosion
Released her from the past

A sinister kiss ever present on lips
Fashioned to pierce the heart
Yet no sinew, shaft, or feather
Remained within her midst

The heart overflowing with joyous tune
Caused my mouth to boast
And though I thought her love was mine
Our fate was sealed with doom

I did write my wife a trilogy of poems before we were married eleven years ago. She still married me, so I guess they weren't too bad.
