As your beauty unfolds before me I am reminded… That no matter how well you guard something it can always be lost… Or in this case did I give it away?
As your beauty unfolds before me I am reminded… That you cannot walk forward to a place that you have already passed… And you should always welcome a new day with more joy than the last…
Much smarter now… There are urgent matters at hand… There are urgent hands that matter… Touching places that have not existed… Until your beauty unfolded before me… Gloriously…
Until your beauty unfolded before me I thought passion existed only in the minds of Poets and songwriters… And it seems I have become one of them… Because You have become my favorite song…
And when I am not singing it I hear its music as I recite… Words that describe you…
And words that can’t describe you… Tapping my feet as some type of continuous applause… This would have been strange behavior…Before your beauty unfolded before me Passionately…
Until your beauty unfolded before me… Time had a pace that outran me… During workdays and lonely days… Time had another name Loneliness…
It is Next time, your time… That is what is important nowadays… The next time I am next to you Precious time… No longer my enemy
Before your beauty unfolded before me… Instantly… Isn’t it funny? That a heart once so weak Beats rhythmically sending a message… Through the jungle that announces… A new space inside of itself where only visions of you cover the walls…
With unfolded beauty… That caresses every sense… Touch everlasting and untouchable…
Since your beauty unfolded before me… Tastes like what Mama puts in her food…
Since your beauty unfolded before me… Smells like the grass after the rain falls…
Since your beauty unfolded before me… Sounds once foreign sound like we…
Since your beauty unfolded before me… Mercifully looks like you…
Since your beauty unfolded before me… Standing there in an archway with my Heart… Secure in your hands… Its fluorescent light only out shined by the smile you wear for only me…
A slight tilt of my head enables me to recognize Love… Beautifully… Gloriously… Passionately… Instantly… Mercifully…
As your beauty unfolded before me Finally I did understand…
It was in my darkest hour that I realized the light came from within… That was when I truly learned that I wasn’t blinded…
My eyes were closed…. All this as your beauty unfolded before my eyes…
” As your beauty unfolded ” , at its simplest is a Paean of praise ; one that really does require a second and indeed a third read through.Not that the subject matter nor narrative voice present any difficulty for the casual reader ,but rather that further,closer readings enhance the pleasure obtained from this work. The old time-honoured adage that , ” a picture paints a thousand words ” could metaphorically be turned on its head by this poem. For if it were a Picture then it would be on display at the Rijksmuseum or Louvre.
Beautiful..Picture perfect.
