Yet To Be

It's in the eyes,

Emerging,

Young - history green -

Mystery doesn't play on this occasion;

Elegance does -

Lays foundation -

Dignity is all,

Underpinning dare with balance:

The veil to sight, diaphanous at best -

Not so the inner one.

That look longs for settlement,

Hides a room - empty for the moment -

Door ajar, yet hinges tight:

Urge of womanhood is

Waiting in a lonely glass of wine:

How long to hide -?

Hanging on a move

To break the vestiges of matrimony.

An urge trickles to the surface:

Still another wall! Thicker!

When to flood the space with bloom,

Advertise that slenderness of arm? -

Flout her personality;

But readiness for taking simmers cool,

Falters back to nascence -

Fear of fighting fights with desperation.

Beauty at the bar -

Brown flits of eye -

A flash of yet-to-be,

Wine shared.
