Beauty

When I say you are beautiful

I mean that you move me

Like a pebble tumbling through the sea

You capture my attention

Like ivy crawling up a cobblestone cottage

I dream of the intertwining of limbs

When I say you are stunning

I mean like a flash of lightening

Over a valley on a crisp spring evening 

Your edges so fierce and powerful

Set apart from the background of our sheets

When I say you are sweet

I mean like a field of flowers 

On a cool summer day

Your breath breezes my neck 

And I’m lost in your scent 

When I say you are lovely

I mean your eyes are like embers

Glistening and glowing

Sparking and crackling the fire that dances from the way you smile 

When I say you are delightful

I mean I am lost and found at the same time

Like a waterfall your love surges up 

And pours over me like I’m the bank edges below

When I say you are enticing

I mean that all the moments 

That I have experienced that are so pleasant 

Pale in comparison 

I mean that I can’t adequately use my senses

Or any words I know

To explain how you captivate my being

Drawing me in with wonder and joy

You are beautiful, you are sweet

You are stunning, you are lovely

You are enticing, you are delightful
