The Beauty I See

THE BEAUTY I SEE
THE BEAUTY, I SEE
IS LIKE THE SEA.
AS I INDULGE WITH COMPLIANCE,
YOUR NO LONGER, PART OF MY ALLIANCE.
WHEN THE STARS CRY,
WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES.
I HAVE TO LET GO,
YOU NEED TIME TO GROW,
LIKE FINE WINE,
OR ANOTHER LIFE TIME.
THE BEAUTY I SEE, IN YOU
STILL SHINES.
THE SUN IS OURS,
WITH CONFIDENCE AN POWERS,
I WAKE, TO MEET YOU , AT YOUR REQUEST.
SO LOVELY, AN HONORED TO BE YOUR GUEST.
LETTING ME KNOW,
I HAVE ANOTHER SHOW.
TO COMPLETE AN ATTEND,
AN, THIS IS NOT THE END.
