The Evening Beauty

It was a beautiful evening,

As I passed by the crop field

I saw a sight for sore eyes

A beautiful woman sitting

All by herself on the grass

As the wind blew, her hair

Covered her face

She tucked it behind her ears

And then I saw her eyes,

They were blue and very deep

Just like the ocean

As though a ton of secrets

Were buried within

But I felt a little

Sting in my heart

When I saw a tear drop

Roll down her flushed cheeks

Her eyelashes were long and thick

Her nose was a deep shade of red

She wiped her tears

A faint smile forming on her lips

As she stared into the infinite sky

The sky which resembled her pink lips

She was beautiful, yet sad

There was something painful

About her smile

I couldn’t stay there long

But I kept thinking of

Reasons for her sadness

Well, I guess all beautiful things have

Something painful within…
