tonight.. <br />i've been ambushed! <br />by your memories <br /> <br />this tired body had not heart <br />to do battle after dark <br />and while i lay battered <br />nursing aching wants <br />in mists of warm waters <br />You came upon me <br />at once my paramour <br />and my enemy <br /> <br />my mind jarred <br />my heart forgot <br />to beat <br />in rythm with <br />tired monotony.... <br />and i heard you whisper my name <br />and your lips sung the same <br />tune to which my love swayed <br /> <br />'You are just so beautiful <br />today <br />as you were that autumn day <br />when i first held you <br />and <br />when i first kissed you <br />'You are so beautiful <br />each day <br />as venus, marble etched <br />lovingly carved and gently held <br />in the palm of creation <br />to be worshipped <br />and forever kept <br />suspended in animation <br />through time in my senses <br />'Oh but youre beautiful.........' <br /> <br />and i drown <br />into the fantasy that is me <br />through the words that are you <br />and surrender <br />to the love you made me feel <br />for myself, when we were real <br /> <br />oh but You were beautiful <br />to have made me feel <br />this beautiful <br />for sculpting me a mortal venus <br />for loving me that achingly <br />oh but You were beautiful <br /> <br />oh <br />but <br />You <br />were beautiful...<br /><br />wardha jawdat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-beholden/
