Touching Her Face – v3

A whisper of a smile,
rising on my face,
thinking once again
of that moment 18 years ago…
 
Like white-gloved hands,
at a summer cotillion,
sipping a mint julep
so were the petals of the sunflower
touching her face, her cheek…
 
Oh so delicately, so demurely,
brushing her face, as in a whisper,
pensive pose, thoughtful girl, watchful,
perhaps for an appropriate suitor…
 
Getting the vapors
at the sight of him,
shyly touching the corner
of her pursed mouth, her cheek,
at the sight of him...
