Timothy Ray Poet Free verse

a woman's true beauty

it is said that a woman's true beauty
moves from her face to her heart
she is likened to the aging rose
from bud to bloom, to potpourri
enveloping her existence
she is the truth in beauty
walking towards Heaven's Gates
mother said, find such a woman
in whose heart God is enthroned
be honored to sit at His feet
how many times i have peered 
across this vast space
a vacuum that separates us
wandering and wondering
when your hand will grace my existence
a touch i have so longed for
the poems i so long to write
beckon in your every fingertip
silent lines i can see, blinded
where a muted man can only glimpse
waiting, a simple man, waiting 
where we are separated only by eternity
and in that perpetuity is there an answer
to a forever question
a timeless existence perhaps
a valise of toiletries and disposables

Suzanne Delaney September 28, 2026 at 2:43 PM Timray: Beautiful lines to awaken your Muse. Seems like she has been responding to your devoted attention. Aways a pleasure reading your thoughts. SuZ Timothy Ray September 28, 2026 at 6:01 PM Thank you, my friend, and i pray you are mending well.....my muse has been rather generous since my return, she has even enlivened my Walmart reviews as i now have a special star on my reviews....whether a note, postcard, a letter, we wordsmiths are blessed with the ability to walk in the flow of language guided by a gift....and sometimes to depths where a cat treat becomes the perfect way to sneak in that pill you have to normally shove down their throat....

Valsa George September 10, 2026 at 8:50 PM I do agree with you dear Timothy. A woman's true beauty lies not on her face or her external appearance, but in her heart. She is one who establishes an eternal bond with the great Creator. May God realize your wait for such a woman to fuel your life with love and contentment. Beautifully written.
