SOLILOQUY TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

.

Beautiful women of which there are many,

Are delights to the eye,

But totally bewitching women delight also the heart.

Some call such women enchanting. 

We poets call them inspirational

Because of their striking presence,

Even among alluring women

Helps to turn our innermost thoughts,

Into picture-words.

Only thus can we speak for the hearts of others.

.

Such women have a generosity of presence.

In a crowded room, you see them first,

Like a diamond in the dust.   

They are the cameo set against the filigree.

You may take your eyes away from such a woman

But you feel as though.

She has left her photograph on your heart. 

.

She will forever intrude into your thoughts

And she will linger longest in your memory.

Hers is not an image of any single quality

But a kaleidoscope of many.

Prettier than pretty,

Livelier than life.  

She is the embodiment of candlelight and roses.

She will turn heads and she will turn hearts

But none so much as you have turned mine.
