Beautiful

by Keith D Allison

This woman in the essence of her youth

a flower waving with every curve

to draw the eye into the magnificence

that the mind might deliberate

consuming

like the taste of brown sugar and molasses, candy

 

But now hang in the valley of tears

for the flow of times

calculated march

beauty, all beauty

can only now flow from within

for time now waxed the stains

up on outer petals of the rose

 

But I see not

for I have been kissed

by her endless heart

Hi Keith. This is just lovely. Your line, "for time now waxed the stains/up on outer petals of the rose", to me shows real vision, to pull that image in. And your final line is really perfect and so touching. Cheers, my friend.
