(is this really true?)
Published on April 12, 2006 By Buddah Moskowitz In Poetry
I am always
dumbstruck by her beauty
especially when doing
the simplest of things
like comforting a child

she is soft yet strong
and always willing to do
the right thing
even if she doesn't know
what it is

she heroically puts
everyone and everything
before herself
and I admire that
since that's who I want to be

and I watch her face
elegant and focused
as her eyes dart
back and forth
solving a Sudoku
or beating her own record
at solitaire

and at the end of the day
she still looks
as sweet and inviting
as dessert

so it doesn't matter
whether we talk
or make love or
just hold one another

I don't know if
all of the good ones
are taken

but I do know
I have mine
