As the dust settled in the dusk, <br />as the night embraced the moon, <br />there she laid in the shadows, <br />yet from a distance, so appealing; <br />her light shineth brightest from its base, <br />not as the eye perceived, <br />but as the heart possessed; <br />so, for herself she spoke <br />as her smile lightens up the dark <br />as her spirit ignites the flames of joy.... <br /> <br /> <br />As raindrops stormed the coast, <br />as the breeze stroked the clouds, <br />there she stood in the rain, <br />yet from a distance, so revealing; <br />her countenance the fairest in kind, <br />not as the flesh could yeild, <br />but as the soul would give; <br />so, for herself she spoke <br />as her kindness assuage in pains <br />as her silence appease in rage.... <br /> <br />I found beauty in the mire; <br />yet from a distance, so alluring; <br />her bosom, a delightful sight; <br />her words, a well of affection; <br />for true beauty like true love <br />'a spring of joy, <br />true beauty like true love <br />'a lake of light; <br />true beauty like true love <br />impresses the soul!<br /><br />Bolami lawal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-beauty-like-true-love/
