SILENCED BY BEAUTY

SILENCED BY BEAUTY

By: Tyararr J. Jones

My love strung eyes are still, for they are focused on you,

Gazing upon a marvelous gift that comes from God so true.

The rhythm of my loving heart has slowed its beating pace,

Shaken by the privilege to see your delightful face.

I am paralyzed in my thoughts, frozen by fascination,

Standing in awe of you with joyful contemplation.

My lips cannot speak, for words are hard to find,

Bound I am to you in soul, my heart and in my mind.

Shackled by your beauty, in silence here I stand,

Underserving of your love, or to take you by the hand.

I will enjoy these times with passion, for time with you is a gift,

May the times that we are apart be so very swift.

I smile at you as my princess, I rejoice because you are my friend,

May God be our resting place until our journey's end.
