Beauty Poem by Hamd Ejaz

AS THE SUN GOES DOWN THE RIVER
HER BEAUTY SURROUNDS THE HORIZON
I LOOK AT HER IVORY FACE
WHICH DISAPPEARED WITHOUT ANY TRACE

BUT I STILL REMEMBER
AS IF A DREAM FROM SLUMBER
HER SCENT AND SKIN
AS COOL AS CUCUMBER

HER SMOOTH HAIR WAVERING IN THE AIR
JUST LIKE CHILDREN PLAYING IN A FARE
HER GOLDEN HAIR WERE NEVER SO SILKY
AS DEW DROPS IN THE VELVET GRASS, SHINY AND SWIFTLY

THE BRILLIANT, BLUE COLOR OF HER EYES
OFTEN THEY WOULD JUST SHY
TEARS GLITTERED IN THOSE EYES
JUST LIKE SHINING STARS IN THE SKY

THE INTOXICATING LIPS SHE HAD
OFTEN STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS
HER LIPS WERE MOIST, AS IF SHOWERED
JUST AS THE RAIN TOUCHES THE FLOWERS

THE DIMPLED CHEEKS, THE BEAUTIFUL SMILE
MADE ME FORGET ABOUT MY TRIALS
TIME WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN THAT WOULD HAPPEN
I WISH I COULD CAPTURE IT IN A VIAL.

BUT, AS I CAME NEAR TO HER
SHE WOULD JUST TURN AWAY
DISAPPEARING INTO A CLOUDY MIST
AND SO, HER BEAUTY WOULD CEASE TO EXIST! ! !
