Best Timebeauty Poems
The hideous wrinkles and folds
unmistakingly reveal the damage
that the harsh years had wrought,
all the battles waged and fought,
won and lost.
I look at her now sunken face,
beaten and badly weathered,
and there is no mistaking
a perfect beauty she was
not that many years ago.
She smiles, a hint of a dimple
peeking through the loose skin,
faint signs of high cheekbones
desperately wanting to be seen,
strong jaws chiseled on a face
that must have been stunning
when she was younger.
Alas, all her enviable perfections
the passage of the years wasted,
disfigured, marred beyond repair
by the envious hands of time.
While this ugly observer focuses
on her now terribly faded image,
with a smile I sigh without envy,
listening to a voice whispering:
the more beauty one possesses,
the greater is the loss in the end.
Time, the great equalizer!
Ugly from birth and ugly till death,
I can take it all with a hearty laugh
as there is not much I will give up,
for the years cannot take away
what from the start I never had.
Ah, ugly is much more preferable
and perfectly beautiful after all.
The wind blows in and out
It seems time is going somewhere,
The beauty of a smile is not designed to be selfish,
The beauty of a blowing wind
Is meant to be part of a sunset by the evening sea.
The murmur of my memories,
Makes my time float,
And dance with the autumn dying leaves.

Best friends we became
Slowly it turned into more
Afraid to say it at first
I was not sure you felt the same
Then you asked me out
It was very apparent
We belong together
Our love is special
Like the beauty of a
Rose
We have weathered some storms
Came out stronger
Proving we can do it
We will last forever
With you, I want to spend the rest of my life
Thank you my wonderful husband
For choosing me
For loving me
I love you too
Like the beauty of a
Rose
We may not be perfect
We may have our differences
However, in the end
Our love always shines through
God must have put us on this earth
With the soul purpose of
Finding each other
Loving each other
He must have known
Our love would last forever
For when he brought us together
We did the rest
Now our love is
More beautiful than a
Rose

For Jeff, I love you
Form:
Edged beauty carved precisely
The heaven pours its soul out
Contrasting with the evil,
beauty hides the shame.
