beauty is essence

first light shifts the stillness of slumbering solitude
morning birds croon pleasant carols
fields of dew-dipped meadows stretch over the horizon
hazy morning light swallows the earth whole

upon the window sill her small and petite figure glows under the warm sun
rays of sunshine dance around her slender and sylphlike frame
strands of blond hair fall just below her eyes
her silk white dress billows in the cool breeze

her honey-colored eyes find their way to mine
brimmed with genuine fondness and crinkles at the corners
rosy cheeks flushed so pretty and pink
the epitome of a beautiful soul

leaning forward and lazing in her mellow ambience
delicate hands tenderly cup the side of my face
easing the strings of muted harrows
restlessness fades away in the serenity of early light

a breathtaking angel from the heavens above
a gleaming twinkle in her eyes and a heart full of love
a gentle smile pressed against her lips
this ethereal beauty is my apocalypse
