I Told Her she was Beautiful


I told her,
"She was so Beautiful"
She said
"What do you mean by
Beautiful"


My mind said
Like those sunsets you see on greeting cards
Overlooking the ocean of some exotic city
Sensuous looking clouds explored by birds
And the silhouettes of people unknown

Beautiful, you know
She said
No I don't know



My mind said
Like that flower that is not a rose
It has the brightest colors seen
Trimmed with the perfect offsetting hue
Growing in the oddest place
Yet it's exactly where it should be
Noticed

But my mouth said
Beautiful, you know
She said
No, I really don't know

My mind said
Like the visions I have listening to good music
The midnight sky when stars are so numerous
The moon pushes its way through illuminating every eye
The breeze is neither too warm nor too cold
The entire world is at peace with it's self

But my mouth said
God has shown His greatness
In the whole of you
And caused me to desire your love,
