Poetic Attraction

  • It is said that beauty Is in the eye of the beholder
  • But there is beauty one must be blind not to see
  • Picasso blue and Van Gogh orange
  • God’s Paintings on nature itself,
  • Mountain top views, clouds in a blue sky.
  • Flowers in full bloom, and Perfect sunrises.
  • But as common as a day of the week,
  • Are those beauties pleasing to see.
  • But as rare as the perfect sunset,
  • Are those raising the soul to heaven,
  • making us better just by the seeing. 
  • And the rarest beauty of all,
  • Is that soul the eyes may reveal
  • Pen and paper, tapping on a keyboard,
  • Pouring out words no one will read.
  • Expressing the language of my heart,
  • In a futile attempt to capture the inspiration.
  • Fear and longing, insecurities and hope,
  • And dreams of what could be.
  • Possibilities found in an unknown soul,
  • Which shines out through those eyes.
  • Questions without words in silent prayers,
  • Eyes of the One or another muse?
  • Depth enough for a lifetime exploring,
  • Inspiration enough for true love,
  • or just for another poem?
