Beauty Denied

Would that you were honestly right,
and your beauty was not in ev'ry man's sight.
But nay, I say, and not in flattery.
Your beauty is quite plain to see,
And has brightened many a dark night;
So to prompt a lowly fool such as me
to resort to entreaties on bended knee.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires. -Khalil Gibran

Hi again, Shadows.

*sigh*, indeed.  And it's a true story (well, all except the "bended knee" part.  I'm too afraid of rejection to go that far!)!
