Exquisite – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

VJs Weekly Challenge – Taste

Photo: wallpaperflare.com

“…. true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.” Audrey Hepburn

Exquisite

The recipe was not lost,
simply one off,
never to be repeated, 
just one pinch of shyness,
a sprig of humour,
some joy generously added,
an abundance of love
layered in all its flavours,
with a dash of awareness 
and finished with a quiet
confidence lightly held,
such an exquisite being,
to taste her
is to taste the strength that 
holds everything together.

    “Exquisite” is one of my favorite words. Your poem certainly does her justice.
