Life, Love, Beauty, Fleeting

Look upon myself in the mirror,

Beauty shall be lost to passing time.

Could there be a reflection dearer,

To not acknowledge it would be crime.

Then I’d rather be looking at you,

Come and upon you I shall gaze.

I hope you would look upon me too,

With our eyes we shall graze.

Now let us explore with our hands,

Wish to feel your touch on my skin.

We give in to each other’s demands,

Our patience with love never wearing thin.

Let us take it to the next step,

Press your lips tight against mine.

Exploring one another’s deepest depths,

Has been sweeter than any wine.

Let us lay down in the grass,

Tongues now locked in bliss.

Take your time, not too fast,

Lest a single detail be missed.

Hold me now and do so tightly,

I hope you never let me go.

Grip my heart but do so lightly,

If you need me let me know.

We could lay here together,

Never have to go back.

We can stay here forever,

Keep this train on the track.

But time will see us part,

A tale that can’t be denied.

So then shall the pain start,

And for our love I have cried.

It doesn't take much out of you and your day to tell someone they are beautiful, to offer them a compliment, to let them know that you love them. You just may be providing the light at the end of the tunnel to someone who feels they are otherwise stuck in the darkness. It'd cost everyone more to let love fall by the wayside, or to keep all the love within you to yourself.

Spread some love today, and manifest the beauty we all deserve to admire!
