Love Makes You Beautiful

Love Makes You Beautiful

I wasn't born pretty

Not in the conventional way

I felt plain and forgettable

And I didn't feel loved.

I grew to be pretty

But still forgettable

In crowds of other pretty girls

Who would notice me?

And then one day

The whole world changed

And the mirror showed a new reflection

When the alchemy of love did it's magic on me.

My eyes shone,

My mouth laughed,

My lips smiled

As you told me you loved me.

"How beautiful you are!" you said

And beauty changed the contours of my face

It radiated with love

And began to beam like sunshine, warm and bright.

I loved you so much

I forgot to eat,

Forgot to sleep,

Forgot to cry.

Even the thoughts in my head

Spoke in your voice

Walked in your dreams,

Talked to me tenderly.

Love can do that...

Transform, transfigure, redefine

Love can pull life out of death,

Make gold out of air.

Look what it's done for me

The plain and un-pretty

The forgettable and un-loved

It changed the way I always saw myself

For love makes you beautiful.

Wise Words

 

be here now

 💧

be here now

aching

in places

that only you can touch

my heart,

my soul,

my body, 

my mind

I try to reach

the place

where you are

but it's empty.

my mouth waters

for the taste

of your tongue

my arms long

for the feel of your flesh

my heart needs

the life of your love.

and the mind

thinks,

fantasizes,

imagines,

sees,

dreams

of you

and what it would

inspire

the body to do

if you were here

be here again....

be here now.

NothingTastes Like You

 

Nothing Tastes Like You

Sweet, like homemade strawberry wine

The taste of you lingers

Like chocolate on fingers

Like jelly and jam

And all that I am

Stays hungry for you.

Salty and savory

Like  steak in brown gravy

Like sandwiches making

With lettuce and bacon

Burgers and fries that widen the eyes

Just looking at you makes me drool.

Caramel sweets

And dark truffle treats

Godiva and Lindt

My money all spent

In my long ago days

But I've changed my ways.

I save myself, indulge myself

On the feast of your love and

The delectable true

Most flavors I know and really love so

But there's no taste to me

As delicious as you.
