Beautiful

Beautiful

It happens
The air celebrates you
Whenever you appear
Your soul
Redefines space
Perfume awakening the silence
The music of discovery
Applauds your arrival
Your heartbeat
Begs my breath to pause
Reel in my broken rhythm
And revel in your motion
Your eyes
Open an unexpected paradise
Unveiling uncommon kindness
You unleash on me
Front row audience
Manifested imagination
A living work of art

It happens
You compel me
With limitless gaze
To abandon all views lesser
See through
The alluring double universe of your eyes
Hold everything
In precious gravity
Cherish more and marvel
Your luscious, lyrical lines
Soften my selfish edges
By stepping outside the boundaries to share
I inhale
The aroma outside my own aura
Your luminous atmosphere
Decorates my grateful senses
With you, I surf in generous, oceanic joy

It happens
Beauty blossoms beyond you
Your spoken blush of quiet petals
Tender, thoughtful and touching
Radiate your sweet regard on everything
Life once meaningless and without expression
Ripples and expands around me
In you, shameful soil
Turns into sensuous landscape
Amorous pilgrim feasts on a delectable world
I savor the nectar of your soul
Pouring out to quench others
Revealing real beauty
This is the true, sweet flavor
My heart shapes lips to kiss:
You are everything to me beautiful.
