It first appeared in her profile <br />Even though it was just a half smile <br />I knew a full smile would be fun and laughter <br />I saw the ring, but it was not what I was after <br />Just an observation, an admiration of simple beauty <br />The joy of seeing what is there, my duty <br />Her hair flowed gently across her face <br />Exposing a slight hint of gray in the right place <br />She was like a window to a new world <br />A breath of freshness ready to unfurl <br />She took possession of the room <br />Radiating a glow like a flower in bloom <br />The way she pursed her lips as if to kiss <br />A pleasant pleasure to reminisce <br />Brought a urging sense of righteousness to front <br />Like finding the prize to a treasure hunt <br />Every line, every crease spelled confidence <br />But not a single sign of ambivalence <br />She wasn’t beautiful, she was a bit cute <br />But definitely someone worth the pursuit <br />Then I saw the dimple on her chin <br />Looked a lot like mine but more thin <br />A racing thought crossed my mind <br />What if we had met in another place and time <br />Would the meeting of our eyes <br />Send silent vibrations of surprise <br />Like this encounter was meant to be <br />But I’ll just walk away admiring the simple beauty<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simple-beauty-3/
