The Wonder of You

Your beauty,
rivaled only by your inner self,
is never more than a thought away,
an all-consuming obsession
encompassing my very being.

I am awed by your courage
as your battles are never-ending
in your journey through life,
but, as an Angel would,
you reach out to others
with a kindness that warms my heart.

~The wonder of you~

painted forevermore

on the canvas of my mind.

      OK, I understand

      It wasn't c lear to me. I used it as a poetic device (which is what poets do). Thanks for replying.

    A beautiful poem, It still needs a little more work I feel, the first stanza lacks some flow, but the second stanza does make it better.
    I really like the last part, it leaves you wanting more.

    This is an interesting write, and you've done a fine job so far.

    Good luck in my contest, God bless.

      I am curious

      Why would you tell me my poem is a "Great Entry" and then remove it from the contest? I don't understand.
