“I want to follow beauty,” she exclaimed,
“And film its very essence as I walk.”
“I want to search for fire in the smoke,--
I want to be a poet,” he explained.

“I want to feel the Goosebumps on my spine.
I want to sense what others can’t conceive.”
And he replied, “I want to love and grieve,
And capture life in iambs of a line.”

And grasping, only now, what matters most,
They faced one, common enemy,-- the Time.
And in her ears, there ringed, enchanting rhyme,
And in his eyes, true beauty stood, exposed.

You did a wonderful job with taking the last lines and connecting everything together. This was simple and moving.

I enjoyed this much, Master.  I liked the interplay of the dialogue, and the finding of commonality.  Well done.

"And in his eyes true beauty stood exposed."
I have seen the beauty come alive in women...funny how one day even though you have seen them many times you don't really notice them and then suddenly you cannot look away.  James
