for want of a better reason
I can not readily say
if by chance I loved you
in a minute
in a moment
or the first full flushed hour
of just any unexpected day
as I do not have the said for sight
to such a power
to claim such a deep heart's attachment
I can only confess
what to me was conveyed
some how you have so sweetly framed me
a better portrait of warm, feeling female
by the mere reflection of your heart's eye
upon my visage and demeanor's subtle display
and to your gentle palm
I remain
A Captive Bird
unready
unable
and yes quite unwilling
to ever fly away............
