So you're what beauty looks like,
You're the joy I've never known,
You are the stars that shine at night,
You are the rose when it has grown,
Yet somehow I never saw that,
And for so long I never knew,
But now it seems so simple,
Beauty looks like you.

And if I never took my eyes off you,
Then surely God has blessed,
For the beauty that I always saw
And that was you; my soul caressed,
And although I've witnessed beauty
In the sunset's crimson hue,
It's colours ne'er compared to thee,
For beauty looked like you.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "

Eyes down thak you. I am a humble poet in a world of so many great, and talented writers. I am taking creative writing courses at my college; even though it's not my professional field. Writing is very challenging luckily it does not pay the bills or i might starve to death.
