PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

 

I peer into your eyes in awe

 

as the first man to gaze upon the heavens

 

and like him I am lulled by they're beauty

 

and humbled by their depth

 

 

 

I am forced by my humanity

 

to step back and gaze less deeply

 

for a journey so far

 

is surely not one to be spoken of

 

 

 

At this lesser of state of viewing I see

 

a bountiful forest of green

 

and hear the creatures that must bask

 

in its beauty as I do with every moment

 

 

 

At once you speak

 

and a silence falls within me as if the sounds

 

of my imagination have stopped

 

to hear such beauty before them

 

 

 

I find myself stilled by the sound

 

in such of place of beauty

 

hearing nothing less than the sounds

 

of the heavens I had retreated so dimly from

 

 

 

In my awe I am forced again to step away

 

and I gaze upon a face that I cannot fathom human

 

for no description so impure could I

 

dare force upon this perfection

 

 

 

As if I were not trialed enough

 

this structure of incomparable beauty

 

reveals a smile that melts me to my core

 

and punishes my heart for its impurities

 

 

 

My mortal limits force me back again

 

and I am met again with an embodiment

 

of awesome beauty that freezes me

 

in a state of internal dissolving

 

 

 

I stand frozen and melted in font of an angel

 

whose flowing hair could bring ships to see

 

whose beauty could calm the seas

 

and whose voice could draw it home

 

 

 

My entire self crumbles as she approaches

 

Unworthy of her presence I assume

 

she shall pass through me as the air

 

she parts in her movement

 

I expect her to ascend back into the heavens

 

before reaching my humbled self

 

and return to her fellow angels

 

whose beauty still does not compare

 

 

 

Instead she touches my chin.

 

Her hand, though cold melts my frozen body

 

limp I stand there in the her presence

 

witnessing her lips come to mine

 

 

 

Their touch imbues me with life

 

I am for this moment complete

 

and my body, through its trials

 

is filled with a healing bliss

 

 

 

All at once I begin wishing for an eternity

 

one where this may last forever

 

one where this moment is the one spent

 

for the lifetimes of the many who ne’er live it

 

 

 

Then what felt like a millennia

 

is over and her lips retreat

 

I am left in nothing but awe

 

that this beauty would give this gift to me

 

 

 

I was a man gazing into a cosmos

 

who was forced to retreat from beauties

 

to avoid being overcome by them

 

only to be destroyed by greater ones

 

 

 

I was then a man redeemed!

 

A kiss from the angel whose beauty

 

I so foolishly feared!

 

I was dense in my thoughts of its harm

 

 

 

In my destruction I saw beauty

 

and in my redemption I felt it

 

Never have I so feared what I gazed upon

 

and so welcomed its gaze in return

 

 

 

I ramble and repeat many things I know

 

But my love for you is a thing difficult to show
