She is...




She is like an iceberg
I see only the tip
the depth and breadth of her
magnificence is not
visible to the naked eye.

She is like a child
trapped in a woman's body
adult, confident, sensual
only a certain glimmer in her eye
fortells the child in charge.

She is like rain and wind
and sun and snow,
mercurial, depending on the conditions
not preictable more than a
moment in advance...
a mere shift of mood
can bring on a storm.

She is like air to me,
essence of life itself
and when she is gone
I do not perish
but my heart works a little harder
to make up for her lack
only on her return do I exhale
easily again.
