I miss your face

I miss your face

As we pass in the street wearing our regulation veils

What expression do you wear on your lips?

Do you have for me a smile?

I miss your face

Though we converse in muffled words

I am not party to the movement of your mouth

Too often phrases are misheard

I miss your face

The joy of anonimity has very quickly worn thin

I miss the curling of your mouth when you sneer

I miss the grimaces and grins

I miss your face

Hidden behind the layers of cloth that might keep us safe from harm

If I cannot see your beautiful face

How can I fall for your boyish charm?

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
