She was Samantha
Before the sunrise
And after the apologies

Like a badge of holy water
Sipping around and beyond her thin lips,
She was Samantha

And with her glasses,
With her black denim jeans,
Her lipstick, velvet surreal
Like a fall of a hopeless heart
The fall of a hopeless man

She sat and watched
Beside the ocean glass of
Truths and lies
And waited for a man
To please her heart
Without the mirror of his eyes

So she could see a center
Of clarity, a center of pain
Not guarded, not sold in the sand of soiled black,
She could see someone with a skin so bare
His body could wrap around the island
Like the pigeons of the air

She wandered so long, wandered no more,
A long street that she wished would be called her own
Like the sad ending to a night of a peasants long yawn,
Samantha kept searching, on a train to another city she could call her own.

Enigmatic, ethereal, unique and very, very beautiful. This is the first of your poems I have read, but most certainly not the last.
