Gild The Lily

By RiVeN

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In a sense You are beautiful in your own world These materialistic things You do not need Makeup is not a miracle Plastic surgery Is a call you need not heed Beauty is only skin deep? So why is it I find your beauty When you are awake And when you are asleep This feeling floating through my head Your lips the darkest shade of red My heart Aching to be one with yours My hands long to hold yours One day soon Our love will come into view Eyes the brightest shade of green I guess our future together Has been forseen In my deepest thoughts And surrealistic dreams You need not gild the lily Your beauty is natural And your love Is mine Written December 16th, 2001 © on Dec 26 2001 03:03 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
