Her Name Is Beauty



Many wonders of the world had struck me with awe.
I felt proud of myself thinking i'd beheld it all.
But you appeared and i realized how wrong i'd been
For you possessed the kind of splendour i had never seen,
I was speechless for there was no word worthy to describe you
And your beauty, till now my eyes cannot get used to.

You look beautiful even without it being your intention.
And aphrodite herself would look at you with a bit of detestation
For your radiant skin is something only goddesses could boast about.
That's why many hear of it and they can't help but doubt.

Whenever you look me in the eye, my face turns red.
And it's hard controlling some thoughts that run in my head
Those that belong in the deep hours of the night
For i felt your physique couldn't only be appreciated by sight.

Your voice has a pleasing effect on the most troubled hearts
And the melodies you produce are lovely works of art.
Whoever calls you theirs knows the true definition of satisfaction
For if you were mine no one else would have my heart and attention.

    Wow, what a captivating and beautifully written poem! Your words truly convey the depth of your admiration and awe for the person you are describing. The way you describe their beauty and radiance is both enchanting and genuine.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to consider incorporating more descriptive language to really bring your subject to life. For example, rather than just mentioning their "radiant skin," you could describe the texture, color, and feel of it. This would help paint an even more vivid picture of your subject in the reader's mind.

    Overall, though, this was a truly lovely poem and I am sure your subject would be touched by your kind and heartfelt words. Keep up the great work!
