Borderline Beauty

Miss Serendipity
Oh through your face I see..
true and lasting beauty!

We meet by chance
through the winding corridors
and for but a passing moment
these eyes consume
the wonder of you..

I remember the time
you once wore a shorter hair
and I swear you looked like a beau
I could have mistaken you for a lad!!
..if I have never seen you

months have passed..
oh now look at your longer hair!
flowing down smoothly
like the darkness of the night
and oh your eyes!
oh how they light up
over the attention you drew!

oh Miss Serendipity!
your charm is that of a coin
heads you go and you look like a boy

though I've memorized your features
I will never know your name
because your senior year is ending
and it will never be the same..

I hope we meet by chance
in some other time and place
and for but a moment..
Miss Serendipity
I wish you can stay
and again
let these eyes consume
the wonder of you..

-for a beautiful person I have never known
