A Beauty Held Inside Eyes

Avast a beauty held inside. 
In fragile hands and soft lingering eyes. 
a supple smile burning as if a star 
for one who gazes through lenses. 
A galaxy of colors swirling and throbbing 
with electrical pulses beating blood 
through a maze of veins. 
Travel through hedges of high and low 
and run in circles before you know 
you are lost, lost within a heart. 
Secretive and full. 
Hopeful and despair filled. 
A contradiction of rigid gentleness. 
A beauty lost within closed eyes.

Closed eyes can allow us to see where the soul flies to meet with a love whose voice is natural and undoubting. This poem is a hot beauty of genuine desire. It swells my heart happily. Contradictions lead to truth. J.A.B.
