1. Memories, For, When I Am. (Being edited 2024)

Beauty

For my love, the one I look to for hope in the darkness.

I don't know what you think

beauty is,

just keep it to yourself,

I'll only need a moment

so hear me through.

Beauty isn't foundation,

Beauty isn't rainbows of lipstick or gloss,

Beauty isn't putting on shiny frilly dresses or things,

Beauty isn't perfect,

Beauty isn't  gained nor earned nor borrowed,

nor is it stolen

Beauty isn't a personality formed overnight

Beauty isn't many things, but it's also something more,

Beauty is pure and undying,

Beauty is a flame under the sea,

Beauty is inside, don't hide,

Beauty runs wild and untamed not locked in a cage

Beauty is passion contagiously absolutely corrupt with

who, that is you

but beauty,

my beauty,

is that smile I love so much,

is that feeling, that finality of indifference and same,

is that awaited greeting I get

is that thing where I reassure hopes and dreams

is that irreversability of fate

is that time we are content

is that place where we wander to and from

is that beating of a heart not kine that I know so well

is that fire

is that light

is that person, yourself, in you.

don't hide it,

share it,

don't fear it,

embrace it,

don't give it up,

keep it,

don't let it go,

hold it,

Because of all the material things in this world,

none seem to compare,

Because beauty isn't an object or someplace you know,

Beauty isn't a beast,

my beauty, is a girl, a girl I know.
