Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Into Your Beauty

I don't need an Eiffel Tower as my backdrop 
nor picture painted perfection gracing a Louvre 
romantic candlelit dinner elegance at a Casa Cruz 
nor a breathtaking view of The Old Man at Storr . . . 

to deliver all my heartfelt desire 
radiant red, smoldering, a slow stoke 
burning, for you, I am your fire 
and you, in all your brilliance 
are my flame 

dancing in every minute breeze 
seen and unseen 
felt in every crevice of my being 

spread in both dreams and reality 
wild and free 
sparks ignited in a heated destiny 

Time is now . . . 
pour out our stagnant waters 
no more pushing up daisies from the past 
rains, they come and they go 
washing away distance 
and here, into your beauty, 
I continue to fall
