Upon Reflection
She looks in the mirror, and notices:
A lamentable loss of youthful glow
The gray growing in her hair
And fine lines around the eyes
That absurd little wattle beneath her chin
Not much more than a ridge so far
Those breasts have seen better days
Drooping a bit with the weight of gravity and years
But still full, soft, a delight to know
And her stomach, now a sweet bulge
Not the toned plain she once knew
Lower still:
She strokes the golden fleece between her legs
Could maybe use a trim, perhaps a shave
And those sweet thighs, plumper but still a pleasure
Just powerful enough to kick some ass
She twists, noting that her own's holding up pretty well
Not bad, all things considered
A Goddess standing in the lingering steam
A gift to one and all
Smiling as her male muse appears
His reflection joining hers
And whispering:
"You are perfection, nothing more,
And certainly nothing less."

"You are perfection, nothing more,
And certainly nothing less."
This is how I see my muse. And this poem, my friend, is simply perfection of beauty in itself. Very strong writing. It strips the superficial glamor away to reveal the incredible true beauty of an actual person. Thank you for writing this!

If women lived to be forever perfect in beauty and skin, this world would be a very boring place. We need "Reflections" such as in this poem to reflect on for generations. A stunning write, Crowfly. . .Enjoyed. . .xoxo, Devlin.

I agree. Experience adds to beauty, and character grows with age. Thank you Devlin!

Crow, you should enter this in the Female Beauty Competition. It would be a strong contender.

You've taken my heart with this, so powerfully felt. No words, am in a ponderous state. Touching.
