Beautiful

Beautiful inner.
Beautiful around her.
Beautiful all the days that pass beside her.

Beautiful is the air she breathes.
Beautiful the youth she seeds.
Beautiful in how she gives, how she sacrifices, how she pleases.

Beautiful skin against mine.
Beautiful skin against time.
Beautiful skin against breath, tongue, lips, skin, imperfectly aligned.

Beautiful the couch we share made for one.
Beautiful is the waking when sleep is done.
Beautiful my eyes opening to hers, before first light, before first bird song is sung.

Beautiful strength that binds life together.
Beautiful tears that shift my weather.
Beautiful like the days last gasp before it fades into heather.

Beautiful love of every child breath.
Beautiful to every soul in debt.
Beautiful in every moment, minute, passing, in every heart beating toward death.

Beautiful gentle presence.
Beautiful evocative fragrance.
Beautiful like moon-shadows that remind night that light is never absent.

Beautiful together.
Beautiful remember.
Beautiful today, tomorrow and all the days to come after.

Beautiful cuddly.
Beautiful hugs me.
Beautiful hands wrapped in mine, warm silk, touching smoothly.

Beautiful my history in her eyes.

Beautiful our history in her heart.

Beautiful beauty, beautiful time,
Beautiful happy that lives in every breath, every touch, every heart beating chime.
