What is beauty but a twinkle in the eye?
A tear running down a pallid face
Indeed, your beauty makes me cry.
The awe, the inspiration – I stop and stare
Your lips, your eyes, your nose, your hair
The sheer sensuality as you move with care
Your laugh, it haunts me throughout the day
(Oh, how I long to hear it once more)
The joy you bring me is incomparable in every way
And when your azure eye lights upon me
And your lips turn up so effortlessly
The perfection drowns me, and I struggle to breathe
You asked me, what is beauty?
And I answer you:
Beauty is my love, forever true
Possessed by many, yet held by few
