Dónall Dempsey - BEAUTY WITHIN ME(for Angie on reading her poetry)

2014-11-07 5

You have left
your beauty within me

(as if asleep)

and it awakens
now in mind

as if grass glistening
after rain

more green than green

an unseen
seen

your laughter

like birds
leaving a sky empty

filled now with both

their absence & their presence

your voice

like fallen snow
becoming everything it touches

that quiet whiteness

your words
a trail of footprints

... you have left...
(your beauty within me)

and I strive to be
worthy of...it’s blossoming.

Dear Miss Muse, as promised a poem that tries to capture the beauty of your poems but...fails miserably. But don’t despair of me as yet for you still blossom within me and you never know…I might… just …get.... … there…one day. Who knows? In the meantime(no please don’t hold your breath) thank you for being...Angie.

love Donall Donall
