Am I so Beautiful?

Have you found such beauty in my face
That turned your weary eyes so calm and warm
And lips to pleasure’s soft suggestive trace
As you study the demeanor of my form ?

Am I all that endearing to your heart
That glistening eyes would gaze with such intent
And savor every single little part
That makes a weathered spirit so content?

Why do I see a teardrop in your eye?
Why do you bow your head with solemn grace?
Do I remind you of the days gone by
As you gaze again into my lovely face?

It seems I’ve opened up a painful wound
Or maybe these are tears of joy I see
You hold me near, again your eyes consume
The body and the very heart of me

How blessed I am that you have found me here
And I have reached into the depths of you
And wrapped you in my arms and calmed your fears
In knowing someone else felt just as you

It’s strange how I affect you in these ways
I’m just a verse of sweet poetic phrase

Liz - even though we have never met to say hello, you are beautiful, as I can see in your writings.

Elizabeth,
To me your pen writes magic poetic phrases.
and the bright from them lights my head and dazes. Sy

Your pen writes with a grace that only a lady with beauty can hold. May I say I find this poem enchanting.
