Beauty is not Timeless..., by Ellie Morgan

Beauty is not Timeless...

A rose,

At first everyone becomes over—whelmed by the beauty,

Then petals start to fall,

The beauty is fading,

Suddenly, no one cares,

More petals fall until finally the rose dies,

Beauty is not timeless.

How can one miss something they never had?

When the beauty is lost, it becomes nothing,

For looking is not really seeing,

And seeing is not feeling,

And feeling is not doing,

Beauty is nothing,

Yet we all wish we had it.

(2012)

Deep. I can be deep. Reaching in to your soul, Revealing your desires, I can be deep.

My life is a lie, It’s perfectly disguised, Behind a sheet of laughter, humor. I dreamt big. I had goals.

We fall, Some say too fast, Some say never, Its the eyes, the eyes, The lips, the lips,

Am I alive? In your thoughts, Your dreams? How can I be when you were my lif… My spirit soars through memories,

A light beyond the darkness, A warmth beneath the cold, Surrounded by two tight sleeves, I belong in your soft hold. Many deep wounds have faded,

You take my breath, Away with you and in to my mind, Dreams, desires, Fulfilled with one soft touch. You are mine.
