Enchanted By Beauty

Enchanted by beauty
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

The sun fades away into the distance
The stillness of nature overwhelms me
On the quiet waters I see ripples
A reflection of the impact you have made

A soothing thought I linger
This perfect silence reveals the mystery
Perfectly crafted is your image
Along with your dazzling eyes

Your beauty amazes me
And leaves such a deep craving within 
A simple glance silences all the chaos around me
So wonderful is thy beauty

I have seen beauty open up before me like a flower 
But I know that the flower is not for me to keep
I wish I could have it 
For the garden of my heart is empty


Though thy beauty pierces so deeply within
My heart is at peace 
For as the rhythm of my drum lives inside of me
So will your image stay with me forever
