A Peaceful Smile

"Before the winds were born and there were signs of life,
 your beauty was already stirring inside my soul."

Star light shine down for me this night
for I may see just one more time
through hungry eyes
a solemn soul   still
in contemplation 

Strokes gentle in a sea of silk
reflected in a perfect way
showing beauty
unknown   still
seeing faults

Night carry your breeze to her side
blow away any guilt
leaving   just
visions    still
and a peaceful smile

When we truly love someone, we can overlook minor faults. I like the way you summon night's "breeze" to blow away her guilt and leave her with a lingering smile of peace. Your poetry comes from your tender heart, Tim. Beautiful!
