She Is Beautiful

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL when she walked in I didn't look up when I turned to my right she appeared the first thing I noticed was her left cheek and in that small glimpse I saw her in psychic fantasy vibrant waves flowing toward me and I knew SHE IS BEAUTIFUL when I looked again she was dancing and I stared at her the second thing I noticed was her face wearing the wealth of years and I thought she is not as young as I had imagined when I looked again she was staring at me the third thing I noticed was her mind spilling insecurity across the bar and I thought how sad it is to listen to her doubts wounding her natural grace so I told her that I knew SHE IS BEAUTIFUL the next thing I noticed was my body rising flush with blood warm skin and I felt desire tempered by prudence confidence blended with anxiety she asked for a glass of wine and I gave it to her she asked for my name and I gave it to her she asked for my name again but I had no more to give when she said goodnight I kissed her left cheek she seemed confused and I wonder what story she will tell to herself to others but I hope she will know SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

Indeed, she is beautiful, like love and life and love of life, like truth and light and your verses.
