I want a kind of beauty
Like the red lipstick on your cheek
A hand inside another
Beauty like the way you say "yes"
All giddy and excited
Like Zilzie's wet puppy dog eyes
Bare naked trees in Winter
Steam rising off rain puddles
A kind of beauty like your words
How perfect you can be
The scars across your body
How far you have come
The beauty of our laughter
Bouncing down the street
The way we walk with purpose
So untouchable
How good it was to smell your house again
Your brother playing Chopin
Twinkling piano in my ears
The way you look at me sometimes
And the way I look at you
It makes me feel so ashamed of
Sometimes wanting to hide
The beauty of loud music
Pumping through my body
Making my heart beat
Keeping me alive
How nice it is that you know the old me
I want a kind of beauty that will stay around
But changes as we change
A kind of beauty like your mood swings
Your scary intrusiveness
Beauty like the key around your neck
Running into seawater with random
Drunk teenagers watching me
In the moonlight
The beauty of feeling good enough
Knowing I have no base of what I've learnt
Beauty of sunsets, of endings, beginnings,
Wasting time, running faster,
Chaos and stillness,
Rotten tomatoes in school lockers,
Things that make you look twice,
Sensitive cherubs and your best friends
Beauty of space and feeling insignificant
Of wondering whether you're making it all up
Author notes
I'm really sorry if this is too long, I got a little carried away.
Also, the "You" in this poem is a number of people, my mother, father, friends, dog and even myself.
