Hours and days counted
As the months go by.
Lost forever to my eyes,
The sight of your beauty
Is always in my mind.
Sights of face and form
Beauty beyond compare
High on your eyes
Drunk on your voice
Perfect to my likings
Your smile, your laughter,
Pleasures almost forgotten.
But always remembered,
Is the light of that soul.
Battered and bruised,
Yet glowing brightly.
That which is pleasing to see
Flees with the passing of time.
A face will wrinkle
A body will sag
But your beauty grew
With every setting sun
Outward beauty,
In Face and form
Inward beauty,
You hide from others.
I never knew beauty,
I never knew love
I never knew what I was missing.
Until you walked through that door.
I didn’t know what I was doing
Did not know what I was feeling
Until after you walked out of that door
I got what I wanted
Inspiration that lasts a lifetime
But I never got to tell you
your perfect beauty is eternal
forever be in my heart,
Because of the love it has inspired
