The Beautiful

You catch my hips in your strong hands,
And I know exactly what you are thinking.
You press your lips to my forehead,
In that kiss there�s concern and truth.
I�m stumbling blind into your world again,
And I�m not even trying to break my fall.

I want to tell you about the beautiful,
The shocking,
The relaxing rhythm of the tide

I catch my breath as your fingertips trace my jaw,
You hum quietly
Something soft, something slow.
You hold me so tight there�s sweet pain against my sides,
And fog behind my eyes,
You play your hands through my hair,

And I want to tell you about the beautiful,
The mesmerizing,
The powerful pull of the moon.

Your unrelenting eyes are fixed on mine,
And we�re discussing poetry,
Long lost sonnets of love and war,
But not a words sounds between us.

I want to tell you about the beautiful,
The comforting,
The completeness of the night sky.

I want to tell you about the beautiful,
The beautiful.
