Lavender Beauty

Nonfiction/Romantic

When I say

You are beautiful

I do mean your body

Wrapped in red lace

That can barely contain

The bounty beneath

I do mean your eyes

Lined with black

Lovingly powdered

With lavender

Deep elegant pools

Of swirling chocolate

I do mean your lips

Oh so soft and full

Object of my every fantasy

The ways I want to trace them

With my tongue

But when I say you're beautiful

I really mean

I can see your heart

Bursting with encouragement

The way you can see

Right into me

And know my dreams

Not hesitating

To tell me they've come true

The way your sweetness

Is far beyond your taste

It comes from the sugar

Dripping from your fingers

When you ease my insecurities

The calming seas

You want to pour

Over my anxieties

Your beauty truly comes

From the love that lights

Up your beautiful soul
