Lady Godiva all over again. . .

never saw Prince Charming
missed him by a mile
i looked upon a woman
she only wore a smile
in a room of windows
doorways to the past
everythings a pattern
spinning all too fast
Lady Godiva in her hair
dazzling to my sight
smiling sweetly standing there
in the fading light
in the mirror
on the wall
into the tunnel
getting small
happy in her beauty
primping by the hour
she lives to bloom eternal
an ageless perfect flower
