POETRY: "The Beauty of Your Words" By Joshua Merchant

"The Beauty of Your Words"

By Joshua Merchant

Your looks are beyond comparison to any other.

Your smile draws out the happiness hidden within me.

Your eyes are a portal whose beautiful shade of blue

brings me to a place I like to call Euphoria.

But your words sing to me a sweet song of ecstasy.

The words you speak cause me

to reach for your love,

as a magnificent spring flower reaches up

for it’s own source of pure happiness.

Every time you say “I love you,”

my heart succumbs to true love’s grace.

You tell me how your day is,

but I hear the sounds of graciousness.

You tell me you’re sorry,

but I here apologetic noises of humbleness.

You ask me to be yours,

and my body shivers as the majestic words

flow through my soul and creep down my spine.

You speak words of wisdom and grace.

You converse as if your words had the appearance

of a beautiful and incomparable Greek goddess.

The beauty of your words send me into a state

of impenetrable elatedness.
