Exquisite Beauty

On a mountain I once was,

A field of wild flowers I came across.

In the middle, one red and one yellow,

Two roses entwined, they stood wild and free.

With drops of dew on each blossom,

One after the other, they fell.

Just like tears,

Each landed with such elegance.

A sparkling glow from every dew drop,

Each one enchanted the next.

To my left,

I saw a distant silhouette.

An angel standing next to a unicorn,

Together, their beauty glistened.

Wild and with freedom,

Beauty flowed with the sparkle from the roses.

To my right,

I saw you, a tear in each eye.

Like a rainbow above,

Your tears encompassed all.

An exquisite vision of rarity,

You were witnessing the same.

Exquisite beauty,

Has been captured and returned.

The truth, I just had to wonder,

Did you even realize the depths of sight?

Within the sparkle of your eyes,

You just saw the beauty hidden deep within your heart and soul.

A Morning’s Rose

As he awakens,

he just sits watching.

While she sleeps,

a peaceful glow sparkles about her.

In the morning sunlight,

rose blossoms open slowly.

Tiny droplets of dew,

adorn their velvety petals.

The finest of roses,

he picks a perfect red one.

On the pillow beside her,

he carefully places, not to disturb.

 Like a butterfly’s wings,

a petal softly caresses her delicate skin.

With its amorous scent filling the room,

she slowly awakes with a smile.

As he watches her,

enchantment fills his soul.

Capturing freedom once again,

beauty forever reigns within her heart.
