I cannot hear anything but mine own heart beat <br />Thou art still the most beautiful lady I've ever seen <br />So elegant and refined, graceful and petite <br />Thou art effeminate in love with beauty serene <br />Thou define beauty with such eloquence and such charm <br />No time, no age, no season nor death did trace <br />Worn lines, wrinkles, sorrow and decay on thee <br />For by thy bosom love pulsates to thy immortal face <br />The poetry of flesh; the beauty thy flesh be <br />An ideal imagination that steams thy beauty fast <br />And whispers nature's secret's like the silver moon <br />And reveals beauty like the sun's light cast <br />And reflects love like profound emotions swoon <br />I can only hear my heart beat, as I fall and faint <br />For mine heart, thy beauty took and with thy face did paint…<br /><br />Kevin Michael Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-hear-anything-but-mine-own-heart-beat/
