    I Am Not Impressed

    The sight of you in lingerie can't even compare
    To the wistful thoughts and memories of times we used to share
    And when you see me look at you with a smile and lustful eyes
    It has very little to do with your breasts…
    Your hips…
    Your shapely thighs
    I more affected by memories of the softness of your skin
    And the firmness of your embrace when your love had me locked in
    There's not much more that you could do when you walk into a room
    That could have as much effect on me as a hint of your old perfume
    None of this is to say that I think any less of you
    But why on Earth would you ever want me to be impressed by you?
    We used to have a saying…
    A small motto for you and I
    We said "The things you cherish make memories and those will never die"
    The image of the woman you are in my memory is much stronger
    Than the impression of your female body parts…
    (And besides it lasts much longer!)
    So impress me not for it is true that most impressions fade
    And look deep into your own heart and soul to see what memories have been made!

    beautiful, appreciation of a woman, I thank you for that.Beloved

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
