a response poem, of sorts

In an uncomfortable chair
scanning piles of poems,
across from perfection...

I am reading her, again
and I can't put her away.
She is undefineable.

Stealing a glance
from my reading
I catch her smiling.

Their words are worthless now.
maybe masterpieces, erased
from staring through her.

Beautiful is cliche.
Her eyes sparkle...
Does she notice, I wonder?

I care
and she is happy.
