The Love Collection - Part Three

Poem 7: Beauty

It's in the eye

of the beholder.

You may think

you're overweight

that your hips

legs

and waist

are just too big.

You may have

fallen out

of love

with yourself

but I haven't.

Poem 8: The Quarry of my Heart

It stops me.

That special scent

in a certain spot

triggers the senses

alerts the mind.

I search

with a predatory eye

listen

with hunted ear

and surrender

my soul

with clerical zeal.

You,

the quarry

of my heart,

bind me

in your love

as the dark hours

descend.

Poem 9: What I See

There are those

for whom

you do not shine.

Those

on whom

your beauty is lost.

People

who only see

dark eyes

and a tired jaw.

They don't see

the beauty within.

The concern

care

and love

contained

within your skin.
