A Thought About Beauty Poem by Tina Rizk

My love,

Today I was wondering about beauty
Roses are beautiful
Their subtil scent enchants the heart
Their colors enliven the mind
And their spiral shape touches the soul
But alas! Their beauty is not eternal
For the rose shall wither and die

And I kept wondering about beauty
Poetry is beautiful
For it translates raw feelings
That spring from the heart
It's the honesty felt between the lines
That renders a poem beautiful
For emotions are the pillar upon
Which poetry stands and honesty
Is a subtle rhetoric that swiftly touches
The heart

And I kept wondering about beauty
'How is beauty reflected in my life? ', said I
Then I instantly thought about you
About your unconditional, tender love

How it touches my heart, mind and soul
And how much you care when I don't feel well
And how you hasten to draw on my face a smile
When gloomy clouds roam in my sky for a while
And how your love turned my heart
To an everlasting springtime
And how your love is the same
Since the cradle of time

Thus, I concluded that nothing is more
Beautiful than to be loved unconditionally
With all our flaws and mess by a genuine heart
That never changes when everything
Around us changes

I found beauty in my life in your great love
That springs from your beautiful heart and soul
Oh my sweet tender soulmate
My precious gift from fate
