THE FACE OF DARKNESS
I never realised someone could have a face like hers . It was very unusual and one you very rarely see.
She was not just a fine and handsome woman , but her mobile peony mouth and large
innocent eyes added great eloquence to colour and shape
Dark black hair cascaded around her face and if I'm honest I loved her at first sight.
Her nose wasn't in any way perfect but it suited her .Have you ever noticed that people with
perfect noses are kind of too perfect and thus uninteresting?
Her complexion was remarkably fair and brilliant, her head small, neck not long but
perfect, chin well turned.
She was certainly one of the most attractive women I ever saw in my life.
She had dark dark eyes like coals and not that tall. Every time I saw her my heart soared
even though I knew she was a liar. I liked her straight black hair that shined and her deep
crackly voice,maybe the voice most beautiful I have ever heard even though everyone else disliked it.
Her skin
was healthy looking and very luminous.I knew that I would always love her and the only time I
wouldn't would be when my voice was no longer capable of uttering her name . Can you love someone who is a rat?
Yes I'm the example .The years passed she became a dipso .She lost the cuteness and
frankly had the face of a boozer. Booze had ruined her face not totally but had taken out that
special thing she had had .
She sent me some photos from time to time asking "if Im still
beautiful." I always said "I remember you as you were and that's the way I still see you".
There was once sweet terrible power in that smooth-skinned face of a full oval shape but
now it had vanished .I put these thoughts together trying to remember ,maybe I can't
anymore.
Do we love people because of their face ? Yeah maybe we do. Every time I saw her face I was transfixed.
