The Most Beautiful
Girl In The World

One time I was
with the most
beautiful woman
in the world.
I don't know
what she ever
saw in me.
I couldn't hold up
my part of the bargain.
I failed miserably,
miserably.
Have you ever had
a poem it took
years to write?
Maybe I can sleep
in peace tonight.

to see the most beautiful
girl in the world, and if
you did was she cryin',
cryin."  B.J.Thomas

I love the rhythm in this melancholic write ... and beauty indeed does not protect from pain and fragility.
... if the poem is not finished, there is still hope!
Love; Margherita

Hello James

That song was playing in my head the minute I read the title.  

Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Beautifully expressed, James.
