She

She has the face that often only shows
how many faces it hides
she has the colors that May can barely accomplish.
She can be gentle as the wind
she can hurt like a child,
can make my pain curdle
and be each day that succeeds.
 
She is the chapter that shapes me
the wave that carries me on
That determines my highs, my lows.
She is every measure with which one measures,
the forgotten bruise
the shore to which one, as one is
swims towards.
 
She, if you saw her as I see her,
I think it would hurt, not to love her
she is the sky1 to which morning beckons.
She is familiar to me, like old photos are
for their flaws one is blinded by love
that one carries thither where time does not penetrate.
 
She is what I have, what I am
my loss and my gain
with a face one cannot exaggerate.
She is the unwritten poem
waiting to be written by me
one that would have to simply go something like this:
I love her, her, oh, her.
