To A Beautiful Lady Grasp and hold my hand, Beautiful Lady, And take a journey with me back to time Long by Man forgotten; deep in the shady Mists of past, where Man began his climb — And there, by the ocean's thunderous roar, We suspend all motion; stand still and calm; For here, on this ancient, wave-beaten shore, We, the Travelers of Eons, read the Palm Of Time, as some sages of yore who soar On wings of wisdom and dispense its balm. And the sages will bring sight to the eyes That were unopened - but now have learned The perfect beauty under pristine skies Where the Sun now, as then, has ever burned — And the Palm of Time cloaks Man’s demise In a veil of hope and love to Him returned. And now, my Beautiful Lady, the potion Of the voyage has been drunk to full effect — Though more for my gain, I quickly motion, For it is I who is charged with long neglect — And there, in your deep, dark eyes the ocean Of that ancient, perfect world now I detect... For in You, Nature has sent Its chosen Emissary, to reveal the beauty Gathered thru the Ages in time frozen, And fulfill the calling of Its duty. Then your hand slips from mine — Fate’s decision — And You continue journey of the Famed — For no one man can hold your vision To his own; no ownership be claimed By a passerby; nor a division — For Natural Beauty cannot be tamed...

 Waiting at the edge of oceans cliff I stand, waiting to clasp thy gentle hand, Where the moon meets the rolling seas, Wherein I stand, my heartsong singing its lonely pleas, Beauty is not seen, for it cloaks my heart, adorning jewels to and for my beloved, for only will his eyes see, Across this vast land, his words echo to me, with each sound of his voice, thy heart beats louder than before... shaking the jewels, sweetly they chime together, If I be but honored to be a beautiful lady in your eyes, my heart gladly thanks thee, sir knight of great bravery..... Your words have great value, heavier than that of golden coins, such an honor would be to be loved by only thee,  Sorry I got carried away~ I was just inspired!Love and Hugs ~ARH Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH [This message has been edited by A Romantic Heart (05-27-2004 04:40 PM).] |

I am blushing...thank you so much, everyone, this is so unexpected... And for RH — yes, it is the heart where it all emanates from. For the heart is the source of power and of the beauty; it is the pump that sends with each stroke waves of the ancient ocean throughout the body to carry the message of beauty outward. As the concentric circles radiate out, when a pebble is cast into a pond, so will beauty spread out from its source, and become the radiant light which permeates the outer shell. Yes, the external beauty is much praised — but without this internal glow it is but a transitory shell, destined to fade in the darkening shade of Time. Thank you again for the kind words, everyone.
